I just received this email from Amazon. I swear, can ANY company put out a product that doesn’t require a recall. I’ll have to go get the codes off the seat tomorrow when I can see and order the fix.
Greetings from Amazon.com.
We have recently learned that Britax, in cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), is voluntarily recalling certain Frontier Child Restraint Systems. Our records indicate that you have purchased one of the Frontier child restraint systems listed in this recall through the Amazon.com website and are therefore affected by this recall.
The recall involves models E9L54E7 (Frontier Red Rock), E9L54H6 (Frontier Rushmore), E9L54H7 (Frontier Pink Sky), E9L54M6 (Frontier Canyon), and E9L5490 (Frontier Sahara), manufactured between April 1 and September 18, 2008.
These items were sold between April 1st and December 15th, 2008 and are being recalled because if the harness straps are repeatedly loosened one strap at a time, then the harness strap(s) may become detached from the metal yoke located on the back of the child seat. If this condition occurs, the child may not be properly restrained, and in the event of a vehicle crash there could be an increased risk of injury.
Consumers are urged to stop using the recalled restraint systems immediately, and register for a free repair kit at www.frontierrecall.com. For more information, you may also call Britax 1-800-683-2045.
You may also find additional details about the recall in the NHTSA bulletin at: www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/results.cfm?rcl_id=08C010000&searchtype=quicksearch&summary=true.
If you purchased this item as a gift for someone, please notify the recipient immediately and provide them with the information in the NHTSA bulletin concerning these safety issues
