Recall 2015364: model years 2014, 2015
What's wrong: On certain car seats, the harness adjuster buttons (red) could remain down in the “release” position after the harness is tightened, allowing the shoulder harness to loosen from a child’s movement while secured in the seat. In the event of a crash, the child may not be adequately restrained, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: The manufacturer will provide a repair kit containing a non-toxic food grade lubricant to apply directly to the harness adjuster button with instructions and a label to indicate that the repair has been completed. <a href="http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/safedrivers-childsafety-1439.html">Click here for more information</a>
