On the morning of october 18, i began placing my baby's infant carrier seat into the base already installed in the vehicle's rear passenger outboard seat. I noticed that it seemed loose and removed the base for closer inspection. The base had previously been installed correctly with the retractor switched to alr mode (i am a cps technician). I found that the retractor was no longer ratcheting and simply made a clunking sound when pulled. I cannot verify if it is working in elr mode, as it sticks makes strange sounds. I moved the car seat to the other rear outboard position immediately.*ak
