Graco Children’s Products said that it will recall some 3.8 million car seats due to faulty buckles that can make it hard to free the child in an emergency, The New York Times reported.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, however, said that the recall, the largest in five years, did not go far enough and has asked for an additional 1.8 million seats to be included because they use the same buckles, the Times reported.
In a letter, the agency told Graco that unless those additional seats were fixed it would take legal action to force a recall.
The seats in the recall are the 2009 to 2013 model years of the Cozy Cline, Comfort Sport, Classic Ride 50, My Ride 65, My Ride with Safety Surround, My Ride 70, Size 4 Me 70, Smartseat, Nautilus, Nautilus Elite and Argos 70.
