EQUIPMENT:MOTORCYCLE:HELMETS
Issued by Badass Helmet Company · Reported Jul 10, 2018 · 762 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Badass Helmet Company (Badass) is recalling certain Trooper motorcycle helmets, model TR001.6, in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, and 2XL. These helmets may not adequately protect the wearer in the event of a head impact during a motorcycle crash and they may not stay secured to the rider's head. Additionally, the label inside the helmet may be incorrect in that it does not list the actual helmet manufacturer and does not list the model of the helmet. As such, these helmets 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
Badass will notify owners and replace the defective helmets, free of charge. The recall began September 7, 2018. Owners may contact Badass customer service at 1-866-334-3563.
