Britax has issued a voluntary safety recall of certain Advocate ClickTight, Boulevard ClickTight, and Marathon ClickTight model convertible car seats.
The following model numbers are affected:
The company said the models were manufactured between August 1, 2014 and July 29, 2015. There have been no reported injuries from the defect, according to the company.
From the Britax website:
Description of the Defect
The ClickTight model convertible car seats identified in the table above have harness adjuster buttons (red) which may remain down in the “release” position after the harness is tightened. This will enable the shoulder harnesses to loosen from a child’s movements while secured in the seat. A loose harness may not adequately protect a child in the event of a motor vehicle crash.
Remedy of the Defect
To remedy this condition, we are providing you this free kit that includes a non-toxic food-grade lubricant to apply directly to the harness adjuster button (red). After this one-time application of lubricant, the adjuster button will function normally, move freely inside the finger guide, and will not remain down in the “release” position after the harness is tightened.
What You Should Do
Follow the instructions included in the remedy kit. We recommend that you apply the lubricant to the harness adjuster button (red) immediately. If you have any questions, contact our Customer Service Department at 1-888- 427-4829 (choose option 3) or for consumers outside of US and Canada please call 704-409-1699 or email Britax.Recall@britax.com.
