Graco SnugRide infant car seats, manufactured between August 31, 1999, and February 28, 2002. These seats may be missing components on the base or the carrier shell. The components are 1 or 2 metal hooks and their retainer pins on the base, or the mating "u" shaped bars on the carrier shell that are used to attach the carrier to the base. Please note: all affected model numbers may also begin with the letter "a". A model number listed, but beginning with an additional "a" is also included in the recalled seats. If the hooks, pins or "u" bars are missing, the carrier may not be securely attached to the base. In the event of a sudden stop or crash, the carrier could detach from the base, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. Graco will notify its customers and provide a replacement seat or base free of charge. Owner notification is expected to begin March 19, 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Graco Century at 1-800-345-4109.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2002071.

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 Graco: 28 in the register, and 246 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2002.
