What was wrong

Defect

THE RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY HAS A 'TONGUE' USED TO ENGAGE THE BREAST SHIELD OF THE CHILD RESTRAINT; A STAMPING DIE USED ON THIS TONGUE COULD CAUSE THE PART TO FAIL AND COMPLETELY SEPARATE IN A CRASH.

Risk

CHILD USING THE SEAT WOULD NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED IN A CRASH, AND COULD SUFFER INJURY; ALSO, THE SEATS WOULD NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS213.

Manufacturer remedy

INSTALL REPLACEMENT RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY WHICH WILL INCLUDE TONGUE THAT IS FREE OF THE STAMPING DIE THAT LED TO TONGUE FAILURE.
