No, we don't own one but were chomping at the bit to buy one any day - to install using the long belt path. So here's the lowdown:
There is not a recall, but a kit is being sent out to all registered owners of seats with DOM from 11/10/2005-6/18/2007. It will include updated instructions and a new label for the seat, a longer strap (can't remember which strap), and some non-skid backing.
RETROACTIVE!!! (ETA: just for seats with DOM b/t 11/10/2005-6/18/2007. It doesn't affect seats older than that and the newer ones already have the correct instructions in the manual regarding not using the long belt path over 40lbs...)
- recline bar to be used at all times
- long belt path CANNOT be used on kids over 40 lbs.
Yes, retroactive. They said the seat was modified slightly (not redesigned) in 11/2005 and they are no longer allowing the long belt path on those seats.
B.U.M.M.E.R.
For us, we'll either buy an older one or get something different.
