Recall 2012245: model year 2012
What's wrong: On certain booster car seats, the French-language label affixed to the side of the seat contains incorrect occupant height and weight range information when the restraint is used in backless mode. The label indicates a weight range of 10 to 18 kg (22 to 40 lbs) and a height range of 71 to 127 cm (28-50 in). The correct weight and height ranges for backless mode should read from 18 to 49.8kg (40 to 110 lbs) and 102 to 145 cm (40-57 in), respectively. Incorrect use of the restraint could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant during a vehicle crash.
