South Carolina company Combi USA Inc. announced on Monday that it is recalling 67,000 child safety seats because the seats could fail to adequately protect children in a frontal collision.

The seats and travel systems being recalled are the Centre, Centre ARB, and Shuttle rear-facing infant seat models 8065, 8074, 8086, 8087, 8520, 4400, 4515, 4520. The recall includes the entire production of these models from October 2005 through December 2007.

According to the manufacturer, the flaw was revealed in tests that it conducted recently with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada.

Combi USA has received no reports of injuries regarding the recalled infant safety restraints.

Combi is offering owners of the seat a retrofit kit that can be ordered through its Web site or by calling (800) 543-7734. The kit should arrive within six-eight weeks.

In the meantime, Combi recommends that owners use the seat without the base. Owners can refer to the instruction manual for how to install the seat without the base. The seats were designed for use with or without the base.
