Tricycles manufactured after June 16, 2010 are not included in this recall, as their pretend keys were flattened to the body of the tricycle. Those tricycles have a manufacturer run number higher than 1670Q2. (The run number indicates the tricycle was manufactured on the 167th day of 2010 or on June 16, 2010.) The run number is found under the seat below the model number.
