Recall number

21C003000

Maxi-cosi

Potentially affected: 119,863 units

Why it was recalled

If the seat is installed with only the lap belt, the child has an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.

What was recalled

Dorel Juvenile Group (Dorel) is recalling certain Maxi-Cosi Pria 85 Convertible child seats. When the seat is installed in the forward facing position and secured to the car using the lap belt without also using the top tether, the seat may not adequately protect the child from head injury in the event of a crash. As such, these child seats fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."

What to do

No remedy has been established at this time. Owner notification letters were mailed October 8, 2021. Owners may contact Dorel customer service at 1-877-657-9546.. Follow the official notice for full instructions.
