- Child seat: harness
- Manufactured:
- 10/31/2007 - 02/15/2009
- Affected:
- 12,715
- Defect:
- Recaro north america, inc. is recalling certain signo and como child restraint systems manufactured from november 1, 2007 to february 16, 2009. a mechanical spring, located inside the locking cam, was manufactured outside the dimentional requirements. the central front adjuster strap on those seats containing the incorrectly manufactured spring will slip within the metal adjuster (a-lock) and this prevents the harness from being securely tightened.
- Consequence:
- If this condition existed and a vehicle crash occurred, the child would not be properly secured in their child restraint system and may sustain injury.
- Correction:
- Recaro will notify owners and replace any defective child restraint system free of charge. the recall began on march 12, 2009. owners can contact recaro customer service toll-free at 1-888-473-2290.
