Defect: These seats may be missing components on the base or the carrier shell. The components are 1 or 2 metal hooks and their retainer pins on the base and the mating "U" shaped bars on the carrier shell that are used to attach the carrier to the base. If the hooks, pins or "U" bars are missing, the carrier may not be securely attached to the base. In the event of a sudden stop or crash, the carrier could detach from the base, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.

Corrective Action: Graco will notify its customers and provide a replacement seat or base free of charge. Owners may call Graco at 1-800-345-4109 to receive a free replacement seat or base.
