Maxi-Cosi car seat recall 21C003000

Seats included

• PRIA 85

Check the label on your seat for the model number and date of manufacture.

The problem, in NHTSA's words

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 could happen

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

The fix

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.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
