Dorel Juvenile Canada has decided that all Maxi-Cosi Coral XP and Maxi-Cosi Mico XP Max rear facing infant car seats and Maxi-Cosi Infant Car Seat Base models with self-retracting universal anchorage system (UAS) fail to conform to the provisions of Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) No. 213 “Child Restraint Systems”.

Issue:

The lower universal anchorage system (UAS) used to attach the seat base could fail. If this happens, the seat could detach in a crash. There have been no injuries reported related to this issue.
