What is wrong
CERTAIN GRACO COMFORTSPORT 5 POINT HARNESS CONVERTIBLE (REAR/FORWARD FACING) CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS MANUFACTURED FROM JANUARY 2 THROUGH JULY 31, 2007, MODEL NOS. 8433FOF, 8629TWL, 8630MTR, 8631DFT, 8631DRA, 8632PSO, 8635TAC, 8639COS, 8C00BLG, 8C00DMN, 8C00GRP, 8C00LNW, 8C00MID, 8C00TMB, 8C01SVD, 8C01WTN, 8C02MGI, 8C02MRC, 8C03HAL, 8C03WCF, 8C04FRR. DURING PRODUCTION, THE LOWER ANCHORAGE BELT IN SOME OF THESE CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS WAS INCORRECTLY ROUTED. AS A RESULT, WHEN THESE CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS ARE USED IN THE REAR-FACING MODE, ATTACHED WITH THE LOWER ANCHORAGE BELT, THEY FAIL TO CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 213, 'CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS.'
What can happen
THE SEAT BACK ANGLE OF THE CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM CAN EXCEED 70 DEGREES IN A FRONTAL CRASH. THIS INCREASED ROTATION MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE CHILD.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
