I AM WRITING TO REPORT A PROBLEM WITH MY EVENFLO ON MY WAY POSITION RIGHT CARSEAT, NOT MY CAR. WE PURCHASED THIS FOR OUR FIRST CHILD AND HAD USED IT LESS THAN 3 MONTHS WHEN IT BROKE! WE WERE SIMPLY TIGHTENING THE SHOULDER HARNESSES, BY PULLING THE STRAP FROM BEHIND, WHEN THE PLASTIC LEVER PIECE (THAT YOU WOULD PUSH DOWN ON TO RELEASE MORE HARNESS) BROKE! IT SNAPPED RIGHT OFF. IT REALLY SCARED ME BECAUSE I HAD TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER IN THE BROKEN CARSEAT TO THE STORE (A 40 MINUTE DRIVE) IN ORDER TO EXCHANGE THIS BROKEN SEAT FOR A NEW ONE. LATER, I GOT IN THE MAIL A BROCHURE FROM EVENFLO SAYING THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. IF THEY WERE AWARE OF IT, WHY DIDN'T THEY DO SOMETHING PRO-ACTIVE -- LIKE RECALLING THESE SEATS AND GIVING US NEW ONES, ONES THAT ARE SAFE AND WON'T BREAK? ALSO, ON OUR REPLACED SEAT, IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACCIDENTALLY PULL THE HARNESSES TOO LOOSE AND THE END OF THE HARNESS COMES THROUGH THE PLASTIC LEVER ON THE BACK. THEN YOU CAN'T TIGHTEN THE HARNESS AGAIN AT ALL! THIS IS NOT A SAFE SEAT IN TERMS OF ITS SHOULDER HARNESS ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM.*AK
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998 Acura 2.2CL, 1998-1999 Acura 2.3CL, 1998-1999 Acura 3.0CL, 2001 Acura 3.2CL and Acura MDX, 1998-2000 Honda Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, Odyssey and Acura 3.5RL, 1999-2000 Acura 3.2TL, 1996-2000 Civic Coupe, 1997-2000 CR-V, 1997-1998 EV Plus, and 1998-1999 Isuzu Oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138 or Isuzu customer service at 1-800-255-6727.
A SOAPY LUBRICANT WAS USED TO INSERT THE CHECK VALVE INTO THE VACUUM HOSE WHICH CAUSES THE BRAKE BOOSTER CHECK VALVE TO STICK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE A LOSS OF THE BRAKE'S POWER ASSIST RESULTING IN A REDUCTION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL CLEAN THE CHECK VALVE BY WASHING THE VACUUM HOSE WITH HOT WATER.
