Does anyone know if the sticky latch problem (that was recalled) has been fixed? Thanks!

I'm not sure which recall you are referring to, I searched and couldn't find any recalls for THIS seat. HOWEVER, I did receive my order today, that I ordered on Apr 14, and checked the manufacture date and it says it was manufactured on Mar 22, 2014. Given that it was that recent I'm sure any recalled issues have been fixed. I'm installing my seat tonight via latch so I'll be sure to report back if there are any troubles.

I have the same QUESTION, AMAZON ! Also I want to know when you found out about this problem and the changed the name of the saet by adding the word " HARNESSED " and dropped the price of the to $64 .00 from $ 88 .00 for a defective model ???? WORDS can not describe how I feel right now !!! I'm thinking of getting a lawyer AMAZON and it's YOU that has me thinking that way. Be assured that my spending on your site is at an end ! I'll be telling everyone I know ... and then some !

Yes...if you have a recalled version, you must give Evenflo some info about your model on the website and evenflo sends the new buckle to you within 2 weeks free of charge. I have a maestro and that's what they did for me. Amazon even emailed me about the recall as soon as it happened.

Zardoz: Take 30 seconds to go to the Evenflo website. This model is on re call up to 10.03.2013 production. After that, it's been fixed.

did you mean to write "the latch works, but just after I pull the handle a few times IT NO LONGER WORKS. Do i need to replace or tighten?" as I see it there are 2 possible issues. Most likely: the cable is coming off the handle. you've got to make sure that is seats perfectly. unless the cable is shot (if so, it's an easy fix and cheap part), there is nothing to tighten. you are either in or not. less likely (2). cable is shot. if so, replace.Scott N is correct below... you MUST insert the cable into the slot correctly. if you don't it is very likely to pop off. that is likely your issue. I actually had an issue with my cable and the electric switch part and thought I might as well replace the poor plastic OEM handle. did you mean to write "the latch works, but just after I pull the handle a few times IT NO LONGER WORKS.

I know that I bought mine after the recall date. If you go to their site it will direct you to the ordering site for the new straps. I ordered two and it took a while for them to arrive. As a side, my husband has not installed them yet and I've had no issues with the old ones yet.

I have not heard of any recall...can't imagine what could be faulty about it. Hmmm...I purchased mine in April 2013.

Never had an issue with mine, Is it in upside down or the latch broken? When inserted the right way it just falls in and out.

Definitely a BADLY DESIGNED door latch/switch mechanism. Eventually gets gummed up (by vaporized cooking steam/grease?) and stops functioning. Ours lasted for a couple of years. Now the main electronics still work fine... but the malfunctioning door latch won't permit use. Hundreds of dollars balked by a ten cent plastic doohickey...

Great. No problem. I had the exact same lockset in brass and the thumb latch was an ongoing problem.

I honestly haven't had it all that long, however, I did check my door after receiving your question and I have not noticednoticed any problems to this point. Hope it works just as well for you.

No problems with ours, have been using it for a couple of months now. Latch is tricky, and easily broken.

My handle was completely broken. If you have to pull the handle a few times prior to opening, is it due to the door being locked? My back latch had to be unlocked several times prior to me finally getting it to open up. Then, shortly after, it stopped working and I had to replace it. Not sure if it's possible to do any kind of tightening on it. For me, this part was a pain to change, and if you're going to open it up and tighten it, might as well change it out. I didn't answer your question, because I don't know the answer, but I hope you can fix it. Good luck.

I have no problem with my latch, so you might want to get a replacement or call cuisinart.

yes, I've asked twice and haven't gotten an answer. I've returned a recall unit. If I could get a clean one, I'd buy it. I think it's a very nice product. But, I for one, am not going to pay retail for a "fixer-upper". At a "refurb" price, I'd think about it, because units below ser 3114200 are exactly that - refurbs waiting to be refurbed. I'm going to wait another week to see if I get an answer, and then just get something else. Sigh.

I have had no problems with the latch. My issue with this model is it's very loud, and it doesn't have a 30 sec. Button button.

Sorry, but I am unable to help you with a proper reponse. What I can say is that I would no longer recommend this item to anyone. After very little use, the latch broke and was/is of no use.

No. It took me two tries (15 mins) to adjust and it was fine. Latch was very secure. I did this in the summer weather. Now in the colder weather I adjusted the tension tighter and it is fine and the latch is very secure.

yes...I verified before ordering and after receiving, it is a post-recall issue.
