Recall 2013368: model year 2013
What's wrong: On certain infant car seat bases, the knob used to securely tighten the base into the vehicle may detach or spin without tightening the base. In either case, the car seat base cannot be properly secured into a vehicle in accordance with the instructions.
What to do: All registered owners with affected car seat bases will be sent a free repair kit consisting of a barrel nut, screw, allen wrench and repair instructions in both official languages. Non-registered owners, or owners who have moved, are asked to call the Canadian distributor, ALCA Distribution, at their toll-free number 1-866-531-3255 to request a free repair kit. Important notes: If the car seat base is securely installed in accordance with the instruction manual and the knob later detaches or just spins, the base will remain securely installed and can continue to be used with the car seat. The infant car seat can also continue to be used without the base until a repair kit has been installed. The affected car seats should not be returned to the retailer.
How do I know if my Orbit Baby G2 CAR SEAT BASE 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.

Recall remedies are free from the maker. The official notice lists how to get it, and Recallify can contact the maker for you.
