Recall of ISOFIX Units
The safety of our products is AGUTI’s highest priority. As part of our ongoing quality monitoring, we have identified that certain ISOFIX units may not meet our high quality and safety standards.
Reason for the Recall
A potential defect has been identified in the welds of the ISOFIX anchorage points. In the event of an accident, these welds could fail.
Should this occur, there is an increased risk of injury.
Precautionary Recall
Although we are not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this issue, we have decided to initiate a precautionary recall of the affected ISOFIX units as a product safety measure. By taking this action, we aim to ensure that all affected products meet the applicable safety requirements and continue to provide the highest level of safety for users.
