On certain child car seats, the French-language label indicates the incorrect weight range in kilograms. While the English label states that the seat is intended to be used forward facing for children weighing between 10 and 45 kg (22 and 100 lbs), the range on the French label states between 10 and 54 kg.
If consumers were to refer to the french-language label only, they might inadvertently use the restraint system for a child with a weight greater than 45 kg (100lbs), increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property in the event of a crash. Correction: All registered owners with affected car seats will be sent a letter indicating how to obtain a free label replacement kit. Non-registered owners, or owners who have moved, are asked to contact Diono at 1-866-954-9786 to receive, free of charge, a repair kit consisting of new warning labels that can be applied on top of the existing labels. The affected car seats should not be returned to the retailer.
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 2012413.

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 Diono: 24 in the register, and 444 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2012.
