The defect
The retractor assembly has a 'tongue' used to engage the breast shield of the child restraint; a stamping die used on this tongue could cause the part to fail and completely separate in a crash.
The risk
Child using the seat would not be properly restrained in a crash, and could suffer injury; also, the seats would not comply with fmvss213.
The remedy
Install replacement retractor assembly which will include tongue that IS free of the stamping die that led to tongue failure.
