Britax Child Safety Inc. announced today that they are conducting a voluntary safety recall on certain car seats.
The Advocate ClickTight, Boulevard ClickTight, and Marathon ClickTight model convertible car seats. manufactured between Aug. 1, 2014 and July 29, 2015 have been recalled.
Britax determined that certain ClickTight model convertible car seats may contain a defect with the harness adjuster button, which would pose a safety hazard.
The harness adjuster button may remain down in the “release” position after the harness is tightened. This will enable the shoulder harnesses to loosen from a child’s movements while secured in the seat.
A loose harness may not adequately protect a child in the event of a motor vehicle crash.
To address this issue, Britax is automatically mailing a free remedy kit to all registered owners of the recalled car seats within 7-10 business days of the announcement.
The remedy kit includes one non-toxic food-grade lubricant, a label indicating that the remedy has been completed, as well as an instruction sheet for applying the lubricant to the harness adjuster button.
Owners should confirm if their product is included in the recall by visiting www.BritaxClickTightConvertibleRecall.com or by verifying the model number in the list below:
E9LV31Q, E9LV35R, E9LV36B, E9LV36L, E9LV36N, E9LV45Q, E9LV45S, E9LV46A, E9LV46H, E9LV55N, E9LV55Q, E9LV55Z.
The DOM label is located under the car seat cover to the right of the “ClickTight” dial.
