Recall 2012408: model years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012
What's wrong: Certain infant car seats may not comply with the Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regulations and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.1 - Infant Restraint Systems. The instruction manual and the labels affixed to the car seat contain various minor translation errors and omissions. 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.
How do I know if my Chicco CORTINA DISCOVERY is affected?
Check the label on the side, back or bottom of the seat for the model number and date of manufacture, and compare them with the model years and dates in the official notice.
Is the fix free?
Recall remedies are free from the maker. The official notice lists how to get it, and Recallify can contact the maker for you.
