Recall 2012026: model years 2010, 2011

What's wrong: On certain child seats, the rivet used to secure the harness adjuster (also known as the A-Loc) to the seat shell may have been incorrectly installed and could fail. If the harness adjuster detaches from the seat shell, the harness system would no longer be able to properly restrain the child seat occupant. This could increase the risk of personal injury during a vehicle crash.

What to do: Consumers are advised to call Britax Child Safety, Inc. at their toll-free number 1-888-427-4829 to request a repair kit.
