Wcl Helmet recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Leather On Wheels Inc (Leather On Wheels) is recalling certain WCL Helmets, model Polo, part number 666, in all sizes produced 9/1/14 through 3/16/20. The helmet may not adequately reduce the amount of force the wearer experiences during an impact. As such, these helmets fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard FMVSS 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
What could happen
In the event of a crash, the helmet may not protect the occupant, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Leather On Wheels will notify owners, and dealers will provide a credit or replace the helmet, free of charge. Owners may contact Leather On Wheels customer service at 1-587-583-0070.
