What to Know if Your Car Seat Has Been Recalled
If your car seat has been recalled, you should take action to return it as soon as possible. Here are some things to know if your car seat is affected:
1) Look for a recall notice on the vehicle or in the owner’s manual. If there is not a notice, check with the manufacturer.
2) Remove the car seat from the vehicle and follow the instructions included with the recall. Most recalls require returning the car seat to the manufacturer for replacement.
3) If you cannot find a recall notice, check if your car seat has been “recalled” by looking at its model number. Car seats with model numbers ending in “Cc” were recalled between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2017. If your car seat has this number, it must be returned to Graco for replacement.
What to Do if Your Car Seat Has Been Recalled
If you have a Graco car seat model number Cc, it has been recalled. Here are some tips on what to do if your car seat is recalled:
1. Check to see if your car seat has been recalled. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has a recall identification number (RIN) for each and every car seat that has been recalled. If your car seat has the RIN, then it is already in the process of being replaced or fixed. You don’t need to do anything else.
2. If your car seat isn’t included in the NHTSA recall list, but you have concerns about it, you can always contact Graco customer service. They will be able to help you figure out if your specific carseat is affected by the recall and, if so, what to do about it.
3. If your car seat isn’t included in either category – it’s not on the recall list or you’ve already addressed any safety concerns – then you can just keep using it without worry. However, if something happens and you’re unsure whether or not your car seat was involved in a recent recall, contact Graco customer service for clarification.
