Recall 2014217: model years 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014

What's wrong: Certain child seats may not comply with the dynamic testing requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 213 - Child Restraint Systems. The car seat's adjustable carrying handle could change adjustment position during a crash, contrary to the requirements of the standard. Correction: A production change has been undertaken to remedy the non-compliance condition. No corrective recall action is required as the technical non-compliance condition is deemed to be non-safety related.
