EQUIPMENT:MOTORCYCLE:HELMETS

Issued by Tegol, Inc. · Reported Jul 13, 2016 · 5,292 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Tegol, Inc. (Tegol) is recalling certain Outlaw Slim-G Series motorcycle helmets, part number GLD-12-510-511, in all sizes, manufactured March 30, 2013, to June 5, 2013. The affected helmets may not adequately protect the wearer's head in the event of an impact, and an object may penetrate the helmet. Additionally, these helmets may not be labeled properly. As such, these helmets fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."

Consequence

Helmets that do properly protect the wearer's head can increase the risk of injury to the wearer in the event of a crash. Missing labeling information reduces the user's possibility of identifying the helmet in the event of a safety recall.

Remedy

Tegol will notify owners and offer a full refund on all helmets affected by the recall. The recall began on July 19, 2016. The recall began on July 19, 2016. Owners may contact Tegol customer service at 1-714-496-9988.
