FORT MILL, S.C. (AP) — Some 67,000 child car seats manufactured by Combi USA Inc. are being recalled because federal tests show the seats might separate from their bases in front-end collisions, the company said.

In a release Monday, Combi USA said it will offer free retrofit kits to consumers who contact the company, but that it could take six to eight weeks to get them.

"In the meantime, Combi recommends that consumers use the Combi Centre and Shuttle without the base until the retrofit kit is installed," the recall notice said. "These seats are designed for and safe to use without the base."
