Plain-English summary
Recaro Child Safety, LLC is recalling certain ProRIDE child restraints (model number 332.01) and Performance RIDE child restraints (model number 333.01). The affected units were manufactured between April 9, 2010, and June 9, 2015, for the ProRIDE models, and between January 15, 2013, and June 9, 2015, for the Performance RIDE models. The recall covers specific color codes for each model line.
The defect involves the top tether anchorage, which may detach from the child restraint in the event of a crash. This failure means the restraints do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 213, "Child Restraint Systems." If the tether detaches, there is an increased risk of injury to the child or other vehicle occupants.
Recaro will notify registered owners and send a free retrofit kit consisting of a length of webbing with loops on both ends and instructions to further secure the child restraints. The recall began on September 16, 2015. Owners can contact Recaro customer service at 1-866-628-4750 or by email at [email protected]. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
