Britax Child Safety, Inc.: Child Seat Carrying Handle May Detach

NHTSA Vehicle recall issued Aug 20, 2026.

Britax Child Safety, Inc. (Britax) is recalling certain B-Safe Gen 2, B-Safe Gen 2 Flexfit, B-Safe Gen 2 Flexfit Plus, B-Safe 35, B-Safe Ultra, and Endeavours child seats. Please refer to Britax's recall report for the specific models. A screw in the child seat carrying handle may come loose, causing the handle to partially detach. A child may fall after a partial detachment, increasing the risk of injury.

Look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows every open recall on your specific vehicle, not just the newest one.

The repair is free at any franchised dealer for that brand — there is no expiration on safety recall repairs, and you never pay for parts or labor.

If the notice says 'do not drive' or 'park outside,' take it literally. Those wordings are reserved for fire and crash risks.

Register your car seat with the manufacturer. Car seat recalls reach owners only if the seat is registered.

Bought used? Recalls follow the vehicle, not the owner, so an open recall from years ago is still yours to get fixed for free.
