Reason for the recall
Graco reported a structural issue discovered during post-production testing. The company has not provided further technical details about the problem.

What owners should do
Owners of affected seats can obtain a free replacement base from Graco. Consumers should contact Graco customer service to arrange the replacement.
Users worried about safety may continue using the carrier without the base until they receive the replacement. Graco advises following its instructions for safe use.
