NHTSA's recall record retrieved September 11, 2026.
Campaign 14C004000
That campaign covers units built between July 2010 and May 2013. This model did not exist until July 2019, so no unit of it was built inside that window.
Introduction date from manual edition NWL0000993719A, printed 07/19. The campaign at NHTSA.
This is a conclusion about two dates, not a judgement about the seat. Check the date on your own label against the window above and you have redone it.
A campaign covers a production window, not a model name. Two things off the seat itself settle it, and you already have both.
This page does not compute an answer for you. Send us the label photo and we will read it against the filing, or bring both to a certified technician who can hold the seat.
Rear-facing · 32 in / 35 lb
This child restraint must only be used with children weighing between 4-35 lb (1.8-16 kg) and 32 in (81 cm) or less.
Manual edition NWL0000993719A (07/19), page 12. Read the edition.
Rear-facing headroom
Top of head MUST BE AT LEAST 1 in (2.5 cm) BELOW the top of the car seat.
Manual edition NWL0000993719A (07/19), page 48. Read the edition.
We transcribe the limits from the manual edition and cite the page. Fit is not computable from a height and a weight, so there is no predicted month here and there will not be one.
Organizations: send us a roster, we check every unit, you get the applicability file.

No. Send a photo of the label and we read the model number and the date off it. If the label is worn or gone, that is worth knowing on its own, and it is one of the things a certified technician can sort out with the seat in front of them.
No, and the difference matters. What we can say is that no NHTSA notice names this seat as of the date at the bottom of this page. That is an absence of a match in a public record, not a clean bill of health, and it says nothing about how this particular seat was used, stored, or repaired. It also has a shelf life: a notice filed next month would change the answer.
On the back of the carrier shell. The manual calls it the date label, and it carries the model number on the same sticker, so one photograph of the back of the seat gives us both. It is printed as a month and a year. If it has worn off, a certified technician will know the other places to look on this model.
Not on its own. A recall says a defect was found across a range of production and that a free remedy exists. Whether it reaches your unit depends on the date on your label, and whether it has already been handled depends on the seat's history. Where a campaign does exist, the remedy comes from the manufacturer and costs you nothing.
No, and nobody can do that from a label alone. We can tell you what the public record says about this model, what the manual sets as the limits, and which parts of the seat's history are missing. We cannot see whether it was in a crash, how it was stored, or whether a part has been swapped, and those things matter. A certified technician can hold the actual seat. That is a different job from ours and it is not a lesser one.
For the limits, manual edition NWL0000993719A, printed 07/19, with the page number beside each line. For recalls, NHTSA's public record, checked on the date shown at the bottom. Every line above traces to one of those two. If a line has no citation next to it, read that as something we have not checked yet rather than something we found nothing on.
No. We do not sell seats, we take no commission on any remedy, and we are not affiliated with any manufacturer, with NHTSA, or with the National Child Passenger Safety Board. Where a campaign does exist for a seat, the free fix comes from the brand.
Twenty minutes, one seat or one roster, and you see what the record does and does not say about it. Nothing is installed and nothing is signed. If you would rather we stopped there, we stop there.
You have the label; we have the manual and the public record, and this page shows what each of them actually says about this seat.
Book a demoEvery line here carries its manual edition and page, or the date the public record was checked, so you can check our reading against the source instead of taking our word for it.
Book a demoPer-unit applicability is the difference between contacting every family you cover and contacting the ones whose units are actually named in a filing. Built to sit alongside your existing recall and outreach process, not replace it.
Book a demoThis is your product seen from the owner's side: which unit, which label, which production window, and what an owner can tell from the seat in their car. Built to sit alongside your existing recall and outreach process, not replace it.
Book a demoHolophote is a small independent project in the Bay Area, and it is worth being plain about what that means today. We check one unit at a time against NHTSA's record. We transcribe the limits from the manual edition and cite the page. That is the whole of it. The part still being built is the one that matters most and is the least impressive to describe: a maintained record of a family's seats, held rather than sold, so that a campaign filed next spring can still find the family it belongs to. Where we have not read the document, this page says so instead of guessing, and it will keep saying so until someone reads it.
Twenty minutes. We walk one seat, or one roster, end to end and you see exactly what the record does and does not say about it.
