Child Seat › Tether › Strap/Webbing

Filed Feb 18, 2008AZ

THE ADJUSTOR FOR THE TOP TETHER CRACKED IN HALF. HAD TO PAY BRITAX FOR A NEW ONE PLUS SHIPPING. THEN I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHERS WITH MARATHONS SERIAL: E9W0672008780 MODEL: E9W0672 BATCH: 507735 DOM: 03/10/05 I THINK THIS MAY REQUIRE A ADVISORY RECALL. IT IS NOT RIGHT TO MAKE SOMEONE PAY FOR A NEW STRAP FOR A PIECE THAT SHOULD HAVE LASTED THE FULL 6 YEAR LIFE SPAN OF THE SEAT! (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=1999, MAKE=MITSUBISHI, MODEL=LANCER). *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
