Chronology :
On May 18, 2022, Clek received a letter from NHTSA ODI dated 5/18/22 advising of a potential noncompliance on the Olli booster car seat during testing of the car seat
as part of the FY2021 compliance test program.
On May 19, 2022, Clek opened an internal investigation into the reported potential noncompliance. As the Olli booster car seat is very similar to the Ozzi booster car seat
, Clek also reviewed the Ozzi car seat
for the potential noncompliance.
On May 31, 2022, Clek confirmed that certain production of the Olli and Ozzi booster car seats do not include a required installation diagram and determined that the affected booster seats do not conform to Section S5.5.2 (l)(1) of FMVSS 213.
Initial 573 submitted on June 7th with the intention to petition pursuant to 49 CFR 556.
On June 16, NHTSA recommends that Clek conduct a noncompliance recall in lieu of submitting its petition for inconsequential compliance due to the fact that the required label was missing. Clek takes NHTSAโs recommendation under consideration.
On June 30, Clek decided to conduct the recall.
