What was wrong

Defect

EQUIPMENT FAILS TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 213, "CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS", SINCE THE BUCKLE MAY DISENGAGE DURING A VEHICLE FRONTAL IMPACT, ALLOWING EXCESSIVE MOTION OF THE INFANT. INCORRECT THREADING OF THE SHOULDER HARNESS LEADS TO UNBUCKLING.

Manufacturer remedy

MANUFACTURER HAS SUPPLIED OWNERS WITH INSTRUCTIONS ON RETHREADING THE HARNESS TO THE CORRECT ARRANGEMENT. THE OWNER ALSO HAS THE OPTION OF TAKING THE INFANT RESTRAINT SEAT TO THE DEALER FOR RETHREADING INSTEAD OF DOING IT HIMSELF.
