NHTSA recall 83C006000 · Child seat
Child seat
The defect
Equipment fails to meet the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 213, "child restraint systems", since the buckle may disengage during a vehicle frontal impact, allowing excessive motion of the infant. Incorrect threading of the shoulder harness leads to unbuckling.
The remedy
Manufacturer has supplied owners with instructions on rethreading the harness to the correct arrangement. The owner also has the option of taking the infant restraint seat to the dealer for rethreading instead of doing it himself.
