Evenflo Revolve 180 Litemax Nxt Child Car Seat Recall (NHTSA 26C005000)
Reviewed and published by MPB Safety Desk
Hazard
A child seat that is not reclined as intended increases the risk of injury in a crash.
What parents need to know
The Evenflo Revolve180 Litemax NXT is a child car seat affected by this recall. The seat has a miscalibrated level indicator, so following the installation instructions as given can result in a child sitting more upright than intended rather than properly reclined. A child seat that is not reclined as intended increases the risk of injury in a crash. Because of this, the notice states that these seats fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."
This means that even parents who install the seat exactly as the instructions describe may end up with the child positioned more upright than the seat is meant to allow, without realizing anything is wrong.
A remedy for this recall is still being developed. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed, with additional letters to follow once a remedy becomes available. Parents should watch for these notices and read the owner notification letter carefully when it arrives, and can contact Evenflo customer service with questions. Parents should rely on the official recall notice and their notification letter for further guidance.
