Recall 19E073000: Equipment, Motorcycle, Helmets

NHTSA recall 19E073000 · announced October 21, 2019 · Vcan · 4,218 units affected

The problem

H&H Sports Protection (H&H Sports) is recalling certain VCAN V531 motorcycle helmets in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL, sold exclusively through Amazon. The helmet retention system may fail, allowing the helmet to separate from the wearer's head in the event of a crash. As such, these helmets fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."

The risk

A helmet that doesn't stay secured to the head can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

What to do

Amazon will notify the helmet purchasers and instruct them to return the helmets for a full refund. Owners may contact H&H Sports at 1-626-444-0107.
