Car seat recalls by brand: a snapshot
The car seat recall list below is a snapshot of NHTSA’s campaign records as of November 2, 2026, starting from 2016. Earlier campaigns exist and later ones can follow, so it is a starting point, never a clearance for your seat.
| Brand | Campaigns since 2016 | Newest campaign | Problem | Remedy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Britax | 4 | B-Safe family and Endeavours, August 2026 | Carrying handle screw may loosen | Retention clips mailed free |
| Chicco | 1 | MyFit Zip Air, April 2025 | Excessive chest movement in certain configurations | Remedy kit mailed free |
| Evenflo | 9 | LiteMax Factory Select, February 2026 | Limits stated incorrectly in the Spanish manual | Corrected manual mailed free |
| Graco | 4 | SnugRide Turn & Slide, April 2026 | Carrier may detach from the base in a crash | Replacement seat free |
| Maxi-Cosi | 4 | Coral XP, March 2023 | Inner carrier not sufficient without the outer carrier | Refund or replacement |
| Safety 1st | 3 | Grow & Go Sprint, April 2025 | Headrest foam pieces, a choking hazard | Replacement headrest pad kit mailed free |
A count is not a safety ranking
A higher count does not show that one brand is less safe. It leaves out how many seats a brand sells, and one campaign can cover a single seat or more than 600,000. The AAP says no one seat is the best or safest.
Britax and Chicco car seat recalls
Each Britax and Chicco recall covers certain models only.
- Britax (888-427-4829): B-Safe Gen 2, Gen 2 Flexfit, Flexfit Plus, B-Safe 35, B-Safe Ultra and Endeavours carrying handles (August 2026, 26C006000, 114,660 units); One4Life Slim labels (24C001000); B-Safe 35 family chest clips (17C002000) and handles (16C001000).
- Chicco (1-877-424-4226): MyFit Zip Air, models 07079561970070 and 04079561190070 (April 2025, 25C005000, 30,984 units).
Evenflo car seat recalls since 2016
Evenflo car seat recalls add up to nine campaigns in this snapshot. The four newest:
| Seat | Campaign | Problem and remedy | Units |
|---|---|---|---|
| LiteMax Factory Select, model CS100111198 | February 2026, 26C002000 | Weight and height limits wrong in the Spanish manual | 14,020 |
| Titan 65, models CS200312198, CS200311198, 3712198, 3711198 | January 2026, 26C001000 | May have been made without a tether strap; owners inspect, and a strap is mailed as necessary | 64,031 |
| All4One | December 2025, 25C011000 | Rear-facing recline mechanism may shift; Evenflo replaces the seat free | 74,710 |
| Revolve360 Slim and Gold Revolve360 Slim, made December 1, 2022 to December 8, 2024 | September 2025, 25C010000 | Pieces of headrest foam can be a choking hazard; a tape seal is mailed | 324,997 |
The earlier five are a Titan 65 manual error (25C008000), a missing registration card (25C003000), one Titan 65 missing warning labels (23C005000), and harness adjuster buttons on the Evolve (16C007000) and Transitions (16C003000). Evenflo’s number is 1-800-233-5921.
Graco car seat recalls since 2016
Graco car seat recalls number four in this snapshot, and the newest asks owners to change how the seat is installed until a replacement arrives.
The SnugRide Turn & Slide campaign (April 2026, 26C003000) also covers Modes Nest Travel Systems with that seat, 5,126 units in all. The carrier may detach from the base in a crash, so NHTSA’s record advises following the instructions for installing with the vehicle seat belt, without the base, until the replacement seat arrives. Graco replaces the seat free.
The three earlier campaigns are My Ride 65 webbing (17C001000, replacement harness), TurboBooster instructions (16C004000, printed instructions) and an Extend2Fit recline label (16C002000, new label). Graco’s number is 1-800-345-4109.
Maxi-Cosi and Safety 1st car seat recalls
Maxi-Cosi and Safety 1st car seat recalls name Dorel Juvenile Group, and one campaign covers both brands. Dorel’s number is 1-877-657-9546.
- Safety 1st onBoard 35 Secure Tech and Secure Tech Infant Base; Maxi-Cosi Coral XP, Mico XP, Mico XP Max, Mico Luxe+ and Infant Base (March 2023, 23C002000): lower seat anchors on the base may fail. The record advises securing the seat only with the vehicle belt until remedied, and Dorel mails a free replacement base. 59,457 units.
- Maxi-Cosi Coral XP, model IC313 (March 2023, 23C003000): the inner carrier is not sufficient to restrain a child without the outer carrier. The record advises using the inner carrier only when attached to the outer carrier and installed with the vehicle belt, with or without the base. Dorel offers a refund or free replacement. 14,510 units.
- Safety 1st Grow & Go Sprint, models CC321GYU, CC321GYUD, CC321GYY, CC321GYYD, CC321HAO, CC321HAR (April 2025, 25C006000): a headrest foam pad can be a choking hazard. 179,845 units.
- Safety 1st Comfort Ride 3-in-1, Boost & Go 3-in-1, Boost & Go Essential 3-in-1 and Disney Baby MagicSquad (March 2025, 25C004000): the forward-facing label states the wrong height range. A new label is mailed. 73,144 units. Our forward facing car seat limits guide explains how to read those numbers.
Maxi-Cosi Pria 85 and Pria 70
Campaigns 21C003000 (Pria 85, August 2021, 119,863 units) and 21C004000 (Pria 70, September 2021, 4,000 units) cover the same problem: forward facing with a lap belt and no top tether, the seat may not adequately protect the child from head injury. The Pria 70 remedy is new labels and booklets plus a free Rodi Sport booster. The 2021 Pria 85 record reads “No remedy has been established at this time,” so ask Dorel what applies to your seat.
How to check your exact car seat
Checking your exact car seat takes the model number and date of manufacture from its labels, then a search on the Car Seat tab at nhtsa.gov/recalls. NHTSA’s hotline is 888-327-4236. The car seat recalls page walks through that search, and recalls by the numbers counts what the remedies usually are. To get future letters, register the seat. A hand-me-down also needs the used car seat checks.
Frequently asked questions
Which car seat brand has the most recalls?
Evenflo has the most campaigns in this snapshot, with nine since 2016. That count is not a safety ranking. It does not account for how many seats a brand sells, and one of those nine campaigns covered a single seat.
Is my car seat recalled if its brand is on this page?
Not necessarily. Each campaign covers specific models and often specific manufacture dates. Search your seat's model number and date at nhtsa.gov/recalls on the Car Seat tab, or call the maker.
Why do Safety 1st and Maxi-Cosi share a recall?
Dorel Juvenile Group is the company named on both brands' campaigns. Campaign 23C002000 covered onBoard 35 and Maxi-Cosi infant seats and bases, so it counts once under each brand here.
Why might a recall be missing from this list?
This page is a snapshot from November 2, 2026, and starts in 2016. Earlier campaigns exist, and new ones can follow. NHTSA's own search is the record to trust for your seat.
