Mine is a Race seat, the FIA date of expiry is June 2018. GRP seats are valid for 5yrs and carbon ones 10yrs but these latter cost much much more.

Just to update you : I bought my seat from Demon Tweeks less than 3 years ago and despite various phonecalls there am getting the run a round. Also I'm onto the Recaro help line but their answer is we're looking into it.

Recaro have responded and they will replace my seat. And the fault does lie with the Spg as well, see the link I posted, it said cracks in the seat. I believe the homolugation is active again and the seats after Nov 2014 will comply, obviously be careful who you buy from.. I think one way to know is the older seats like all earlier FIA spec seats date expire month year and the 2015 ones are End year only.

It's an FIA thing, and the labels are more tamper proof.

I got a new seat free from Recaro. I had bought mine new two years ago from Demon Tweeks who wanted to know nothing and referred me to Recaro. At the time I approached DT I could not find my receipt but in the meantime I did, had paid by CC. As well as the new seat new runners were supplied and I was informed these and no others were FIA approved. The Recaro website spells it all out.
