Maxi-Cosi recall: Child seat
What is wrong
Dorel juvenile group (djg) is recalling certain maxi-cosi mico infant child restraint systems, models 22-371 hfl, juc, lmd, png, and ore; 22-372 tth; and maxi-cosi mico infant child restraint system - base only, model 22-515 blk, produced from february 18, 2008 through june 28, 2008. Interference between the mounting bracket and the base caused by warping of the base or inadequate mating between the shell and the base mounting bracket can result in difficulty attaching or detaching the shell from the base.
What could happen
If the shell is improperly mounted to the base, the child could be injured in the event of a crash.
The fix
Djg will notify all registered owners and will send a remedy kit consisting of two base springs, a hex wrench, and instructions for the base spring replacement. The repair kit is free of charge. The safety campaign began on march 5, 2010. Owners may contact djg at 1-877-657-9546.
