Some car seats are being recalled after safety experts determined they could fail to secure children in the event of a crash.
Cerain Britax Frontier child restraints are involved.
Tests reveal the harness straps may detach from the metal yoke on the back of the restraint if repeatedly loosened one strap at a time.
To fix the problem, Britax will mail to all registered owners rubber caps that prevent the straps from detaching.
To get the fix, call Britax at 800-683-2045 and request a kit.
You can also order a fix on their Web site.
The affected models include E9L54E7, E9L54H6, E9L54H7, E9L54M6 manufactured on or before September 14, 2008, and model E9L5490 manufactured on or before Sept. 17, 2008.
