Fuel recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Fuel is recalling certain motorcycle helmets, model SH-HR2066, size L, model SH-HR2067, size XL, and model SH-HH0017, size XL, all manufactured in September 2010. The helmets fail to conform to the impact and retention 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
Fuel will notify distributors and will either replace any noncompliant helmet or offer a full refund. The safety recall began during November 2012. Owners may contact Fuel at 1-800-971-4630.
