What is wrong
CERTAIN DJG DESIGNER 22 REAR-FACING ONLY INFANT CHILD RESTRAINTS, MODELS: EDDIE BAUER, SAFETY 1ST , AND COSCO, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN AUGUST 19, 2003, AND OCTOBER 20, 2004.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
