Certain infant/child/booster seats may not comply with the dynamic testing requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 213 - Child Restraint Systems and CMVSS 213.1 - Infant Restraint Systems. The car seat's movable headrest could change adjustment position during a crash. Correction: No corrective recall action is required as the technical non-compliance is deemed to be non-safety related.
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 2013136.

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 466 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2013.
