On certain infant car seats, cracks could form around the carry handle grip. If the cracks lead to the handle breaking, the seat could be dropped, causing potential injury to the infant. Correction: Registered owners will be sent a repair kit. Owners who have not registered their car seat should contact Britax at 1-800-683-2045 or at Britax.Recall@britax.com to obtain a remedy kit. In the interim, owners may continue to use the infant car seat, but the seat should not be lifted or carried by the carry handle until the remedy kit has been installed.

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 644 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2016.
