Issue:
Dorel Distribution Canada and Transport Canada wish to advise the public of a potential problem area involving the infant restraint system models listed above produced between May 12, 2005 and September 12, 2006, inclusively. The model number and date of manufacture can be found on a label affixed to the back of the infant carrier. On May 12, 2005, the length of the retaining strap (also referred to as the "pigtail" strap) that attaches the UAS belt to the detachable base was shortened to 23 cm (9 in.) from 38 cm (15 in.) in length. The change to a shorter "pigtail" strap may result in some difficulty when installing the infant car seat using the base and the UAS belt in certain vehicles. Specifically, the shorter "pigtail" strap may prevent the UAS hook from reaching the vehicle anchorage.
Consumer Recourse:
Dorel Distribution Canada is asking anyone who may experience difficulty installing the infant car seat using the UAS belt to please contact the Dorel Juvenile Group Consumer Relations Center by phone at 1-800-544-1108 or by fax at 1-800-207-8182. A replacement UAS belt with a longer "pigtail" strap will be sent free of charge. While waiting for the replacement UAS belt, the infant car seat may be installed in the vehicle using the vehicle seat belt instead of the UAS belt.
