The short answer

NHTSA received THINK NORTH AMERICA, INC.’s report on Jan 19, 2011. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

THE SEAT BELT MAY NOT RESTRAIN THE CHILD AS INTENDED DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION OR DURING A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.

THINK NORTH AMERICA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 THINK CITY VEHICLES FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 208, “OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION.” THE SEAT BELTS MAY HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY INSTALLED.

AS A RESULT, A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM USED IN THE PASSENGER SEATING POSITION MAY NOT BE POSITIONED OR RETAINED PROPERLY.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
