Recall 13E029000: Equipment, Motorcycle, Helmets

NHTSA recall 13E029000 · announced May 29, 2013 · Zox · 198 units affected

The problem

Motovan Corporation is recalling certain Zox Old School Motorcycle Helmets, size XL, manufactured in December 2008. During testing, the affected helmets failed to conform to the impact attenuation and penetration requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."

The risk

By wearing a noncompliant helmet, the user may not be adequately protected in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.

What to do

Motovan will attempt to notify owners via motorcycle consumer magazines since they have no record of the owners. The remedy for this recall campaign is still under development. Customers may contact Motovan at 1-450-449-3903.
