Zox recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Motovan Corporation is recalling certain Zox Old School Motorcycle Helmets, size XL, manufactured in December 2008. During testing, the affected helmets failed to conform to the impact attenuation 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
Motovan will attempt to notify owners via motorcycle consumer magazines since they have no record of the owners. The remedy for this recall campaign is still under development. Customers may contact Motovan at 1-450-449-3903.
