Dorel Juvenile Group (Dorel) is recalling certain Maxi-Cosi Pria 70 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."
If the seat is installed with only the lap belt, the child has an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Dorel will provide remedy kits containing replacement labels and instruction booklets and provide, at no charge, Maxi-Cosi Rodi Sport Booster seats rated for children 40-100 pounds and 43 to 57 inches in height. Owner notification letters were issued beginning October 12, 2021. Owners may contact Dorel customer service at 1-877-657-9546 or by email at Pria85recall@djgusa.com.
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.
