Recall Alert: Thorley Infant Car Seats
CARS.COM
Car Seats Affected: Thorley Industries is recalling approximately 1,600 rear-facing infant car seats. Affected models include 4moms Self Installing Rear-facing Infant Car Seats manufactured between July 1 and Oct. 31, 2016, all model number 1032; parents can find the car seat’s model number on a label on the bottom of the car seat.
The Problem: Due to a tight rivet, a coupling hook may not properly engage around the coupling pin, preventing the infant carrier portion from securely attaching to the seat base. If the carrier does not properly attach to the base, the carrier can detach in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The Fix: The manufacturer will replace the infant carrier portion for free.
What Owners Should Do: Thorley Industries’ 4moms will begin notifying owners in mid-January. Owners can call the manufacturer at 888-614-6667, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
