The helmet may not adequately protect the wearer in the event of a crash.

The fix

Tucker Rocky will will attempt to notify owners via signs in dealerships and media outlets since they have no record of the owners. The helmets will be replaced with helmets that meets FMVSS requirements, free of charge. The recall began on September 4, 2014. Owners may contact Tucker Rocky customer service at 1-817-258-9247.
