Recall 2014007: model year 2013
What's wrong: Certain child car seats may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 - Child Restraint Systems. The instruction manuals and product labelling incorrectly indicate that the seats are not certified for use in an aircraft. Correction: A production change has been undertaken to remedy these technical non-compliance conditions. No corrective recall action is required as the technical non-compliance conditions are deemed to be non-safety related. Consumers who contact Britax Child Safety, Inc. at the toll-free number 1-888-427-4829 can request a remedy kit containing a replacement instructions and labels. <a href="http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/safedrivers-childsafety-1395.html">Click here for more information</a>
