Fly recall: Equipment
What is wrong
FLY Racing (FLY) is recalling certain model .357 Helmets size XL manufactured June 1, 2012, to December 31, 2012. The metal ring on the retention strap may separate in high heat conditions. Thus, these helmets fail to conform the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Systems (FMVSS) No. 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
What could happen
A helmet that may not remain secure increases the risk of injury to the user in the event of a crash.
The fix
FLY will notify owners, and dealers will exchange or refund the affected helmets, free of charge. The recall began on February 10, 2015. Owners, may contact FLY customer service at 1-208-376-8400.
