Hi ladies,
I just received a lovely email from Britax about a recall on car seats. Just wanted to pass this along to those who have a Britax car seat.
Dear Britax Consumer:
If you are receiving this email, our records indicate that you have registered a Britax ClickTight convertible car seat with us. Please be advised that in our continued commitment to child passenger safety, Britax is conducting a voluntary recall of certain ClickTight model convertible car seats in cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada. The car seats and model numbers included in this recall were manufactured between August 1, 2014 and July 29, 2015 and are identified in the chart below.
You can continue to safely use your ClickTight convertible car seat as long as you check and confirm that the shoulder harness straps remain tensioned. To check this, you should place your child in the seat and tighten the harness as usual, then pull firmly on the shoulder harnesses to confirm that they remain secure over the child’s shoulders.
Description of the Defect
The ClickTight model convertible car seats identified below have harness adjuster buttons (red) which may remain down in the “release” position after the harness is tightened. This will enable the shoulder harnesses to loosen from a child’s movements while secured in the seat. A loose harness may not adequately protect a child in the event of a motor vehicle crash.
There have not been any reports of injury as a result of this defect.
Remedy of the Defect
To remedy this condition, you should expect to receive a remedy kit in the next 7-10 business days, which includes a non-toxic food-grade lubricant to apply directly to the harness adjuster button (red). After this one-time application of lubricant, the adjuster button will function normally, move freely inside the finger guide, and will not remain down in the “release” position after the harness is tightened.
What You Should Do
You will automatically receive a remedy kit as a registered consumer and you do not need to contact Britax to order a remedy kit. Follow the instructions included in the remedy kit. We recommend that you apply the lubricant to the harness adjuster button (red) immediately. If you cannot get the harness straps to remain in place and to stay tightened, then Britax recommends not using the car seat until the lubricant has been applied.
To verify your registration address where you kit will be shipped, view videos on how to check if your seat is affected and how to remedy your car seat, visit www.BritaxClickTightConvertibleRecall.com.
If you have any questions, contact our Customer Service Department at 1-888-427-4829 (choose option 3) or email Britax.Recall@britax.com.
