Defect. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN 2001 MY SIT 'N' STROLL REAR-FACING AND FORWARD-FACING CONVERTIBLE CHILD RESTRAINT, MODEL NO. 2240, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN APRIL 1 AND OCTOBER 1, 2001.

THE FAA CERTIFICATION STATEMENT, "THIS RESTRAINT IS CERTIFIED FOR USE IN MOTOR VEHICLES AND AIRCRAFT," IS IN YELLOW LETTERING INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED RED LETTERING.

Risk. THIS NONCOMPLIANCE COULD LEAD FLIGHT ATTENDANTS TO REFUSE TO ALLOW A PARENT/GUARDIAN TO BRING OR USE THIS PRODUCT ON AN AIRPLANE, WHICH COULD CREATE A SAFETY RISK TO THE CHILD.

Remedy. SAFELINE KIDS WILL SEND CORRECTED LABELS TO KNOWN OWNERS TO BE PLACED OVER THE EXISTING LABELS FREE OF CHARGE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JANUARY 18, 2002. OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE LABEL AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT SAFELINE KIDS AT 800-829-1625.

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.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
