The recall, which was announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), affects certain models of the Chicco MyFit car seat. The affected seats were manufactured between April 2015 and December 2017, and approximately 11,371 units are impacted. The recall is due to a potential safety issue with the seat's harness, which may not properly restrain the child in the event of a crash.
Chicco, the manufacturer of the MyFit car seat, has stated that they are committed to ensuring the safety of their products and are working closely with the NHTSA to resolve the issue. The company has promised to provide free repairs to affected customers, which will involve replacing the faulty harness adjustment system with a new one.
It's essential to note that the recall only affects certain models of the Chicco MyFit car seat, so it's crucial to check your seat's serial number to determine if it's impacted. If your seat is not affected, you can continue to use it with confidence.
Stay safe on the roads, and always prioritize your child's well-being. For more information on car seat safety and recalls, visit the NHTSA website or consult with a trusted resource.
