Iv2 Helmets recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Ivolution Sports Inc. (Ivolution) is recalling certain IV2 HY-811 helmets, in all sizes. These helmets may block a portion of the rider's peripheral vision. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
What could happen
If the rider's peripheral vision is reduced, there may be an increased risk of a crash.
The fix
Ivolution will notify owners, and owners will be sent a prepaid return shipping label to return the helmet for a full refund. Owners may contact Ivolution customer service at 1-951-852-6327.
