Yesterday, NHTSA announced the recall of 5,444 Recaro Signo child restraints because the central front adjuster strap on some seats may slip within the metal adjuster (A-lock) that controls the tightness of the harness, thus endangering the safety of the passenger.

The seats were manufactured from February through September 2008. Recaro is in the process of notifying owners of the recall and will replace any defective seat.

Owners can contact Recaro customer service at 1-888-473-2290 or visit NHTSA's Safer Car Web site.
