Diono Car Seat Recall
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 12 October 2017 08:42
September 14, 2017
NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17C003000
Diono Car Seat Recall
Injury Risk when Seat used with Lap Belt/FMVSS 213
If the seat is installed with only the lap belt, the child has an increased risk of a chest injury in the event of a crash.
- NHTSA Campaign Number: 17C003000
- Manufacturer Diono (formerly SUNSHINE KIDS JUVENILE)
- Components CHILD SEAT
- Potential Number of Units Affected 519,052
Summary
Diono is recalling certain Radian R100, Radian R120, Radian RXT, Olympia, Pacifica, and Rainier convertible and booster car seats. When the seat is secured to the car using the lap belt without also using the top tether, the seat may not adequately protect the child from injury in the event of a crash. As such, these child seats fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."
Remedy
Diono will notify owners, and provide a free remedy kit with an updated instruction manual, an energy absorbing pad, as well as a new chest clip, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin November 22, 2017. Owners may contact Diono customer service at 1-253-256-9939.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
