This thread will be used to post recalls from the National Traffic Safety Board (NTSB) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

I had a problem with a Ford Explorer, where in the event of a tire failure the vehicle may roll over. I was lucky, we were on I95 outside of Baltimore doing 65 when the right rear tire went flat. I had my hands full to get it to slow down without flipping. Since then I've kinda watched for safety recalls.

I posted one in the Tire & Wheels thread but, I'm going to move it here.

MrHemi, if there's a better place for this type of information, please feel free to move it.

Synopsis:
Graco is recalling 43,994 Comfortsport(TM) convertible car seats, in the Frazier(TM) Fashion, manufactured from November 1, 2006 through October 8, 2007. These seats were equipped with a large sized, supplemental pad or ¿body pillow¿ that partially obscures the child airbag warning label which is on the seat pad. The partial obscuring of this label fails to conform with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, ¿Child Restraint Systems¿. Serious injury could occur to the child should the seat be improperly placed in the vehicle. Graco will notify owners and instruct them to discard the supplemental pillows. The pillows are provided for comfort only and do not affect the seat's ability to protect your child in the event of a crash. The recall is expected to begin during December 2008. Owners may contact Graco at 1-800-345-4109 or by e-mail at consumerservices@gracobaby.com.

NHTSA Campaign ID Number: 08T028
Synopsis:
This email is being sent to advise you that Dill Air Control Products (Dill) is recalling certain replacement snap-in rubber valve stems, Models Dill APC TR413, TR414, and TR418, sold between November 2006 and July 2007. These valves may lack the required additive to protect the rubber against deterioration from ozone exposure. As a result, affected valve stems, when subject to high levels of ozone, may weather and crack earlier than normal for this product. Over time, such a crack could progress to the point that it leaks air resulting in a loss of tire pressure. Loss of tire pressure can result in a flat tire and/or loss of vehicle control, which could cause a crash without warning. Dill will notify owners and replace the affected valve stems free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 9, 2008. Owners may contact Dill toll-free at 1-888-364-2982 or visit http://www.tirevalverecall.net .
