Child Seat / Tether / Connector/Clip
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Recaro Child Safety, LLC (Recaro) is recalling certain ProRIDE child restraints, model number 332.01 in all colors (AK21, KAEC, KAEG, KK91, MC11, MJ15, QA56, QA9N, QQ11, QQ14, and QQ95), manufactured from April 9, 2010, through June 9, 2015, and Performance RIDE child restraints, model number 333.01 in all colors (CHIL, HABB, HAZE, JEBB, JETT, KNGT, MABB, MARI, MNGT, PLUM, PLBB, REBB, SLBB, REDD, ROBB, ROSE, SABB, SAPH, SLTE, VIBB, VIBE), manufactured from January 15, 2013, through June 9, 2015. In the event of a crash, the top tether anchorage may detach from the child restraint. As such, these restraints fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If the top tether anchorage detaches from the child restraint, there is an increased risk of injury to the child or other vehicle occupants.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Recaro will notify and send all registered owners a length of webbing with loops on both ends and instructions to further secure the child restraints. The retrofit kit will be provided free of charge. The recall began on September 16, 2015. Owners may contact Recaro customer service at 1-866-628-4750 or by email at recarorecall@m-s-s.com.

Child Seat / Tether / Connector/Clip
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Recaro Child Safety LLC (Recaro) is recalling certain Recaro ProSport model 385 child restraints, manufactured from June 16, 2010, through January 31, 2013. When the affected child seats are installed with the LATCH lower anchors only (without the top tether), the child's head can move excessively, increasing the risk of injury. As such, these seats fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems."
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
In the event of a crash, the child restraint could fail to protect the child from contacting interior surfaces of the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Recaro will notify registered owners and will provide, at no cost, a label to affix over the existing information label and a complete set of new instructions informing owners to discontinue use of the LATCH system when the weight of the child reaches 40 pounds. The campaign began on September 26, 2014. Owners may contact Recaro at 1-888-973-2276.
Products named: Recaro Prosport.
Report filed by Recaro Child Safety, LLC. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 26 Sep 2014.
09C002000Received 2 Mar 2009. 12,715 units.
Child Seat / Harness / Strap/Webbing
Defect, in the NHTSA record
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, in the NHTSA record
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.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
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.
Products named: Recaro Signo; Recaro Como.
Report filed by RECARO NORTH AMERICA, INC.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 12 Mar 2009.
