WHEN THE INFANT CARRIER IS CARRYING AN INFANT NEAR THE UPPER WEIGHT LIMIT OF 9KG (20LB) AND IS INVOLVED IN A SEVERE FRONTAL COLLISION, THE SHELL MAY SEPARATE FROM THE BASE AND FLY FORWARD IN THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE INFANT MAY COME OUT OF THE SHELL BECAUSE THE TONGUE OF THE HARNESS SYSTEM SEPARATES FROM THE BUCKLE. SHOULD THE INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM FAIL AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, THE POTENTIAL RISK FOR SERIOUS AND/OR FATAL INJURY IS VERY HIGH.
CORRECTION: CONSUMERS SHOULD CALL 1-800-265-0749 TO RECEIVE A BASE REINFORCING PLATE.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Evenflo: 50 in the register, and 243 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1997.
