Baby-product maker Evenflo has voluntarily recalled 59,661 Revolve360 REO car seats after federal crash testing found the seats' headrests can shift in a crash, potentially increasing the risk of injury.
What happened: On June 15, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) conducted crash testing using a three-year-old child dummy with the headrest set to its highest position in both forward- and rear-facing configurations. Tests showed the headrest may move during an impact because the product can flex and allow a latch to disengage, creating "a heightened risk of injury," according to the NHTSA recall notice.
Recall details: Evenflo announced the voluntary recall on July 12, saying the affected seats do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 213, which governs child restraint systems. The recall covers units manufactured between March 2025 and June 2026 with serial numbers that begin with the prefix CS26021.
Affected Models / Example Serial Numbers
- Nantucket: CS260212537
- Danvers: CS260212538
- Chelsea: CS260212539
- Holden: CS260212536
- Brookline: CS260212521
- Lenox: CS260212522
These model entries reflect the recalled units that share the CS26021 serial prefix. Owners should verify the full serial number on their seat to confirm whether their unit is affected.
What owners should do
- Check your seat's serial number—if it begins with CS26021, it may be part of the recall.
- Follow Evenflo's recall guidance, which includes stopping use of affected seats as instructed until a remedy is provided.
- Await formal instructions from Evenflo about the remedy and reimbursement process; additional notices will be sent once a fix is available.
Reimbursements and notices: Evenflo said it will reimburse owners who paid to repair the recalled headrest during the period Jan. 1, 2025 through Aug. 1, 2026. Impacted owners are scheduled to receive letters notifying them of the safety risk by Aug. 17, and the company will send more notices when the remedy is finalized.
"The product flexes such that the latch may disengage, allowing the headrest to shift position," the recall announcement said.
