What was wrong

Defect

THE TOP OF THE METAL PULL/LOCK PIN WHICH HOLDS THE SHIELD IN PLACE, BREAKS OFF. THIS PREVENTS THE SHIELD FROM BEING RAISED IN ORDER TO REMOVE ITS OCCUPANT. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE INABILITY TO RAISE THE SHIELD, WOULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO REMOVE A CHILD FROM THE SEAT IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY OR ANY OTHER SITUATION.

Manufacturer remedy

SEATS WILL BE REPLACED WITH NEW UNITS USING A DIFFERENT PULL MECHANISM.
