NHTSA Campaign 14E086000

EQUIPMENT:MOTORCYCLE:HELMETS

Issued by Shark · Reported Dec 22, 2014 · 2,538 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Shark is recalling certain medium and extra large RAW motorcycle helmets manufactured August 22, 2013, to June 29, 2014. During testing, some of the affected helmets failed to conform to the impact attenuation requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."

Consequence

By wearing a helmet that fails to meet impact requirements, the user may not be adequately protected in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.

Remedy

Shark will notify owners and will direct owners to contact service provider Realtime Results who will replace the helmet, free of charge. The recall began on January 30, 2015. Owners may contact Realtime Results at 1-888-770-7157.
