On certain child seats, the rivet used to secure the harness adjuster (also known as the A-Loc) to the seat shell may have been incorrectly installed and could fail. If the harness adjuster detaches from the seat shell, the harness system would no longer be able to properly restrain the child seat occupant. This could increase the risk of personal injury during a vehicle crash. Correction: Consumers are advised to call Britax Child Safety, Inc. at their toll-free number 1-888-427-4829 to request a repair kit.
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 2012026.

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 Britax: 30 in the register, and 444 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2012.
