Evenflo Recalls 74,710 All4One Car Seats After NHTSA Flags Rear-Facing Recline Defect

Replacements of a different design will be provided at no cost.

Overview

  • The recall covers about 74,710 All4One 4-in-1 seats across specific models made starting Jan. 1, 2022, with reports differing on the final manufacture date window.
  • NHTSA tests found the recline could shift positions in rear-facing configuration during crash testing, placing the seats out of compliance with FMVSS No. 213.
  • Evenflo says the seats may continue to be used with care in rear-facing mode, urging passengers to keep hands away from the recline mechanism and suggesting a small towel as a temporary spacer.
  • No injuries have been reported, and the affected seats are no longer produced or sold.
  • Owner notification letters are scheduled to begin Jan. 26 with instructions for obtaining a free replacement, and customers can confirm coverage via model and date labels or by calling 1-800-233-5921.
