Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
If the driver is in crash, the seat covers may prevent the side air bags from deploying properly, increasing the risk of injury.
Kraco Enterprises, LLC (Kraco) is recalling certain Who-Rae Butterfly Rose 3-pc seat cover kits manufactured October 1, 2015, to October 31, 2015 and sold through AutoZone stores.
The packaging for the affected seat covers incorrectly states that they are acceptable for use in vehicles that have seat-mounted side air bags.
However, the seat covers in the package do not have special side seams intended to allow for the correct deployment of seat-mounted side air bags upon return of the mispackaged seat covers.

What should you do?
Kraco does not have a list of purchasers of the affected seat covers, and thus will not be mailing letters.

The recall began on April 1, 2016. Owners may also contact Kraco customer service at 1-800-678-1910 for a free refund or a free set of seat covers suitable for use with seat-mounted side airbags.
