Recall 2016242

The issue

On certain vehicles, the lower anchor bars that are used for installing child seats using the European-ISOFIX-type rigid-style connector may become damaged during vehicle operation. If the lower anchorage bar(s) were to become damaged, this would increase the risk of injury to a child seated in a child seat using this style of connector if involved in a crash. Correction: Dealers will weld a reinforcing bracket to the lower anchor bars and the vehicle body. Note: Child restraint systems using LATCH-type flexible style connectors, which reflect the vast majority of child restraint systems used in Canada, do not cause this issue.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, les barres d’ancrage inférieures qui servent à installer des sièges pour enfants à raccord rigide conforme à la norme ISOFIX européenne pourraient être endommagées en cours de circulation et accroître ainsi les risques que des enfants qui y sont assis soient blessés lors d’une collision. Correction : les détaillants doivent souder un support de renforcement aux barres et à la carrosserie des véhicules. Remarque : les dispositifs de retenue pour enfants à raccords souples de type LATCH, soit les plus répandus au Canada, ne présentent pas ce problème.
