What is wrong
Tucker Rocky Distribution (Tucker Rocky) is recalling certain Speed and Strength SS500DVD motorcycle helmets manufactured April 12, 2011, to August 31, 2013, sizes XS, S, and M. The helmets fail to meet certain performance requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
What could happen
A rider may not be adequately protected in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of serious injury.
The fix
Tucker Rocky will notify owners, and replace any XS, S, and M size Speed and Strength SS500 helmets with a compliant Speed and Strength SS400 helmet, free of charge. The recall began March 19, 2015. Owners may contact Tucker Rocky customer service at 1-817-258-9247.
