Recall 2008074: model years 2006, 2007
What's wrong: When certain restraint systems are used in conjunction with the base, the infant seat itself may detach from its base during a vehicle crash. This would result in increased risk of personal injury or death to the restrain occupant. Correction: Owners will be provided with a retrofit kit and installation instructions.
Recall 2007234: model year 2006
What's wrong: When using certain infant car seats with the UAS belt (also referred to as the lower anchor strap) and with the adjustable recline foot extended, the adjustable recline foot may move from its original adjustment position during an impact introducing slack into the UAS belt. This could cause the infant restraint to function differently in a secondary collision event (e.g., a rollover, a second frontal, side or rear-end impact, etc.) and could increase the risk of injury to the occupant of the infant car seat or other occupants of the vehicle. Correction: ISIS Inc., will send a UAS belt kit to registered owners.

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.
