Maxi-Cosi Coral XP Car Seat Recalled Because It Doesn’t Meet Safety Regulations
Owners will get refunds or new seats for free. In the meantime, they should not use the seat without its outer carrier.
Maxi-Cosi is recalling the Coral XP rear-facing infant seat because its installation requirements don’t meet federal safety regulations and could result in misuse. Only seat model number IC313 is included in the recall.
The seat is being recalled because its inner carrier alone does not offer enough protection to restrain a child in a crash, and must be used with the outer carrier. If only the inner carrier is used, the infant in the seat has an increased risk of injury in a crash. This design does not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standards regarding the design of the seat.
The Details
Seats recalled: Dorel Juvenile Group Maxi-Cosi Coral XP IC313 rear-facing infant seat.
The problem: Because the seat’s inner carrier must be attached to the outer carrier when in the vehicle, the seat does not comply with several provisions of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213, including S5.3.2 Installation, S5.5.1/S5.5.2 Labeling, S5.6.1 Printed Instructions, and S6.1.2 Dynamic Procedure.
The fix: Dorel Juvenile Group will replace the seat, free of charge, or refund the purchase price. Until that time, the seat can still be used as long as the inner carrier is attached to the outer carrier.
How to contact the manufacturer: Dorel will notify owners of these seats by mail, starting April 7, 2023. Owners may also contact Dorel directly at 877-657-9546 or CoralXPRecall@djgusa.com.
