Good morning all
Not that I'm proud of this but have just received a recall from the ACCC recall site for the D23 (NP300) for the child restraints used in these vehicles.
I always knew they were rubbish and unfortunately so does the results of an investigation. This is hot off the press as the recall was issued on Friday.
