The webbing on the seats' harness restraints on select My Ride 65 convertible car seats did not meet the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's federal requirements for breaking strength in its dynamic crash simulation, the company said in a press release.
According to the NHTSA's safety recall report, the breaking strength for two samples of webbing were found to be less than the required 11,000 N strength.
“In the event of a serious motor vehicle crash, the harness webbing restraining the child may break resulting in a child not being properly restrained,” the report included.
According to Graco, 25,494 My Ride 65 convertible car seats produced from May to August 2014 are affected.
