Car seat anchors that attach to the base of the seat can fail, causing the seats to come loose, NHTSA said in a news release.
The recall involves 59,450 of the following devices manufactured by the Dorel Youth Group:
- Safety 1st on board 35 Secure Tech
- Maxi-Cosi Coral XP
- Maxi-Cosi Mico XP Max
- Maxi-Cosi Mico XP
- Maxi-Cosi Mico Luxe+
- Maxi-Cosi infant base
The car seats were manufactured between May 1, 2022, and February 28, 2023, NHTSA said.
Owners of the recalled car seats are urged to use the seats with the vehicle’s belt restraint system until they receive a free replacement base from Dorel.
The company will send letters to homeowners next month.
Consumers can also contact Dorel at 877-657-9546 or by email.
