This is an investigation, not a recall. NHTSA is looking into a possible defect; nothing has been found and there is no repair to book yet. If a recall follows, it will appear on this site.

What NHTSA is investigating

The Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance (OVSC) tested two products marketed and sold by Nuna Baby Essentials, Inc. (“Nuna”) under the model names “Nuna PIPA lite” and “Nuna PIPA lite r” to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 213, “Child Restraint Systems.” As documented in each model's test report, the PIPA lite and PIPA lite r appear not to comply with a number of FMVSS No. 213 requirements, including but not limited to the means of installation in S5.3.2, and labeling requirements in S5.5. As each model’s test report documents, the products’ “infant car seat”—as it is referred to by Nuna in Nuna’s printed instructions—did not appear capable of being installed using a Type I seat belt assembly. Further examination of Nuna’s certification of the Nuna PIPA lite and Nuna PIPA lite r as compliant with FMVSS No. 213 is necessary. Through this investigation, the agency will obtain additional information about the basis for Nuna’s certification of these products.
