Diono Recalls Cambria 2 Booster Seats Due to Headrest Separation Risk

Diono is recalling specific Cambria 2 Booster Seats because the headrest may separate from the backrest in a crash, increasing injury risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (child restraint system) where the headrest can separate in a crash, increasing the risk of injury, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury risk.

Plain-English summary

Diono is recalling certain Cambria 2 Booster Seats, model numbers 31200-US-01, 31201-US-01, and 31202-US-01. The recall involves 6,920 units. In the event of a crash, a crack can occur between the headrest and backrest, allowing the headrest to separate. This defect causes the seats to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."

A broken or separated headrest increases the risk of injury during a crash. Diono will provide a replacement backrest with headrest assembly free of charge. Until the replacement is installed, Diono recommends converting the seat into a backless booster seat.
