Daytona recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Daytona Helmets International (Daytona Helmets) is recalling certain motorcycle helmets, model DC1, sizes XS-2XL, manufactured in October 2010. Due to an improper fiberglass construction, the helmets fail to conform to the impact and penetration requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
What could happen
By wearing a noncompliant helmet, the user may not be adequately protected in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.
The fix
Daytona Helmets International will notify owners and replace or modify the helmets free of charge. The safety recall began on December 6, 2012. Owners may contact Daytona Helmets International at 1-386-255-3505.
