Only speculation. It seems to only involve the base, so worst case scenario is you have to install it without the base. Recalls can run the range from serious safety issues to improper wording on the label, so there really is no way to tell until they issue the press release.

"They have a manufacturing defect on a small number of bases where the riveting of the LATCH system doesn’t allow the consumer to properly tighten the base when installing using LATCH. There are no accidents or any issues reported. Chicco discovered the issues and immediately notified NHTSA to start the process of correcting and announcing to the public."

"The dates when effected product was manufactured are March 17, 2008 through April 4, 2008. If your serial number date does not fall within that date range your base is okay and nothing needs to be done. If the date is within that range you should use the vehicle seat belt to secure the base in the car and not LATCH."
