We are receiving this information from a NHTSA Alert. It should be said that while NHTSA needs an overhaul in many of its operations, alerts like this work well.
As of 8 a.m., there is no information on the Recaro website regarding this recall. There were two previous notifications on the Recaro site: one "Consumer Advisory" and one previos recall. It is not clear yet what action will be taken to correct this issue.
RECARO North America, Inc. is recalling certain Signo child restraint assemblies manufactured from February through September 2008. The central front adjuster strap on some seats may slip within the metal adjuster (A-Lock) that controls tightness of the harness, thereby preventing the harness from being properly tightened. 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. RECARO will notify owners and replace any defective child restraint system free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during March 2009. Owners can contact RECARO customer service toll-free at 1-888-473-2290.
We are in the process of notifying all Safety Squad clients.
