My mother just called having seen something on the news about a new Britax recall. Anyone know the details?

On Monday, they said that ALL Marathons, Wizards, and Huskies made up till 7/23 are recalled, and the fix is that they will send out a new harness adjuster strap to all registered owners. The problem is, they don't have record of a lot of us who thought we registered, so we all need to call them if we don't get a strap at the end of August.
Your seat is VERY LIKELY safe...just test the harness and make sure it doesn't slip without actually trying to loosen it. If it doesn't loosen on it's own, it's SAFE TO KEEP USING!...If it Does loosen just from pulling on the shoulder harness, then it's NOT safe and should not be used till the adjuster strap is replaced. Here are the details, anyway...
