Details of the Recall
According to documents released by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the issue lies in the car seat’s plastic harness adjuster button. Debris can infiltrate the harness adjuster mechanism, causing it to loosen over time. This defect increases the risk of injury to children in the event of an accident.
What Nuna is Doing to Address the Issue
To address this safety concern, Nuna Baby Essentials will provide affected customers with a fix-it kit. The kit will include:
- A new car seat pad
- Cleaning instructions for the harness adjuster
- A screwdriver to remove the plastic cover
As of now, the company has not announced a specific date to begin notifying owners by letter.
Important Information for Canadian Consumers
In a statement, Nuna clarified that this recall is limited to car seats sold in the U.S. Canadian Rava car seats are not affected, as they continue to meet the Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regulations (SOR/2010-90) without any issues. However, Nuna is making cleaning kits and replacement car seat pads available to Canadian customers as a precautionary measure.
