The product
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.
