What’s wrong with it?
By wearing a noncompliant helmet, the user may not be adequately protected in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.
Fuel is recalling certain motorcycle helmets, model SH-HR2066, size L, model SH-HR2067, size XL, and model SH-HH0017, size XL, all manufactured in September 2010.
The helmets fail to conform to the impact and retention requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 218, “Motorcycle Helmets.”
