What is wrong
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 can 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
Recall repairs are free of charge.
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.

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.
