What’s wrong with it?
The deteriorated polycarbonate material may result in the chin base detaching during an impact, increasing the risk of injury.
Dainese S.p.A (Dainese) is recalling certain AGV Carbon Modular motorcycle full-face, flip-up helmets, model AGV 580.
The glue applied to the screws that secure the chin bar components together may have contacted the chin base polycarbonate material causing it to deteriorate prematurely.
