CHILD SEAT:HARNESS:FRONT ADJUSTER

Issued by Columbus Trading-Partners USA, Inc. · Reported Feb 10, 2023 · 31,080 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Columbus Trading-Partners USA, Inc. (CTP) is recalling certain Cybex models Aton, Aton Q, Aton M, Aton 2, and Cloud Q rear facing infant seats. Please refer to CTP's recall report for specific model details. The webbing for the front harness adjustment strap, used to snugly adjust the shoulder harness straps onto the infant, may fray, which can reduce the strength of the front harness adjustment strap. As such, these infant seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 213, "Child Restraint Systems" and 209, "Seatbelt Assemblies."

Consequence

A front harness adjustment strap with insufficient strength may not properly restrain the occupant, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.

Remedy

CTP/CYBEX will mail owners a replacement front harness adjustment strap assembly and installation instructions, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 3, 2023. Owners may contact CTP's customer service at 1-877-242-5676.
