Issued by Darsan Trading Co. · Reported Jun 8, 2018 · 180 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Darsan Trading Co. (Darsan) is recalling certain HCI Gloss Black Open Face helmets, model number 15, in size large. These helmets may not adequately protect the wearer in the event of a head impact during a motorcycle crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."

Consequence

A helmet that does not adequately protect the wearer from an impact can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Remedy

Darsan has notified owners, and will provide replacement helmets or give the consumer a credit for a replacement helmet, free of charge. The recall began on June 1, 2018. Owners may contact Helmet City customer service at 1-888-550-3731.
