NHTSA Campaign 16C009000
CHILD SEAT
Issued by THORLEY INDUSTRIES D/B/A 4MOMS · Reported Dec 30, 2016 · 1,622 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Thorley Industries LLC d/b/a 4moms (4moms) is recalling certain 4moms Self Installing Rear-facing Infant Car Seats, model number 1032, manufactured July 1, 2016, to October 31, 2016. Due to a tight rivet, the affected car seats have a coupling hook that may not properly engage around the coupling pin, preventing the infant carrier portion from securely attaching to the seat base.
Consequence
If the infant carrier does not properly attach to the base, the carrier can detach in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy
4moms will notify owners and will replace the infant carrier portion, free of charge. The recall began on January 10, 2017. Owners may contact 4moms at 4moms.com/recalls or by calling 1-888-614-6667.
