What is wrong

(Strategic Sports) is recalling certain Simpson Performance Products Shorty OTW (Over the Wall) helmets, part number ST-205, in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL manufactured March 1, 2017-August 11, 2020. The helmets lack proper retention system integrity, penetration protection, and labels. As such, these helmets fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
What could happen
A helmet that does not provide adequate protection increases the risk of injury during a crash.
The fix
Strategic Sports will notify owners, and dealers will collect the noncompliant helmets and issue a refund. The recall began January 25, 2021. Owners may contact Strategic Sports customer service at 1-619-861-8110.
