Diono car seat recalls

NHTSA's child-seat recall record contains 2 recalls that officially name Diono — the most recent reported 2021-03-24. Filed by Diono.

⚠️ This is NHTSA's published recall record — not a clean bill of health. We show recalls that officially name a brand, from NHTSA's recall data (retrieved 2026-07-16). A seat missing from this page is not "recall-free" — new recalls are issued continuously, and coverage depends on NHTSA's own record. Always check nhtsa.gov/recalls with your exact model and date of manufacture, both on the seat's label.

What each recall says

2021-03-24 — Headrest May Break or Separate/FMVSS 213

Diono is recalling certain Cambria 2 Booster Seats, model numbers 31200-US-01, 31201-US-01, and 31202-US-01. In the event of a crash, a crack between the headrest and backrest can occur, allowing the headrest to separate. As such, these seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."

Risk: A broken or separated headrest increases the risk of injury during a crash.

Remedy: Diono will provide a replacement backrest with headrest assembly, free of charge. Diono recommends converting the seat into a backless booster seat until the replacement backrest is installed. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 24, 2021. Owners may contact Diono customer service at 1-855-463-4666 .

2017-09-14 — Injury Risk when Seat used with Lap Belt/FMVSS 213

Diono is recalling certain Radian R100, Radian R120, Radian RXT, Olympia, Pacifica, and Rainier convertible and booster car seats. When the seat is installed in the forward facing position and secured to the car using the lap belt without also using the top tether, the seat may not adequately protect the child from injury in the event of a crash. As such, these child seats fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 213, "Child Restraint Systems." Only seats manufactured between November 25, 2013, and September 5, 2017, are affected by this recall campaign.

Risk: If the seat is installed with only the lap belt, the child has an increased risk of a chest injury in the event of a crash.

Remedy: Diono will notify owners, and provide a free remedy kit with an updated instruction manual, an energy absorbing pad, as well as a new chest clip, free of charge. The recall began on November 22, 2017. Owners may contact Diono customer service at 1-855-215-4951.
