CHILD SEAT:HARNESS:FRONT ADJUSTER
Issued by Combi USA, Inc. · Reported Mar 8, 2021 · 13,880 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Combi USA, Inc. (Combi) is recalling certain Combi BabyRide Infant Car Seats, model 378099 with dates of manufacture of 5/1/2016 thru 8/31/2019. The 1-inch-wide webbing strap used in the center front adjuster to adjust the shoulder harness straps fail the minimum initial breaking strength requirements, and in certain circumstances, may not adequately restrain a child during a crash. As such, these car seats fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."
Consequence
A child that is not adequately restrained in a crash has an increased risk of injury.
Remedy
Combi will provide owners a replacement strap along with instructions for replacement. Owner notifications letters were mailed Jan. 28, 2022. Owners may contact Combi customer service by emailing [email protected].
