Evenflo Company, Inc. — Central Front Adjuster may be Loosened by Child

Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.

What’s wrong

If the internal harness is not tightened snugly around the child, the child would be at an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.

The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.

What to do

Evenflo will notify owners and provide a remedy kit that includes a newly-designed seat pad and CFA assembly, free of charge. Owners may contact Evenflo at www.transitions.evenflo.com or 1-800-233-5921. The recall began on March 14, 2016. Note: This safety issue only impacts the use of the seat in the forward-facing harnessed booster (22-65 lbs. and 28-50 in.) configuration.
