Icon recall: Equipment
What is wrong
J-Tech Corporation (J-Tech) is recalling certain Icon Alliance Dark, Alliance GT Rubatone, and Alliance GT Horror motorcycle helmets in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, and XXXL. The helmets may have faulty stitching on the webbing possibly allowing the D-rings to separate from the chin strap.
What could happen
In the event of a crash, the helmet may not stay secured to the rider's head, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
J-Tech will notify owners, and will provide replacement helmets, free of charge. The recall began on November 13, 2017. Owners should contact Parts Unlimited at 1-800-369-1000 or by email at [email protected] for information on returning the helmet for a replacement one.
