Bilt Helmet recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Comoto Holding, Inc. (Comoto) is recalling certain Bilt motorcycle helmets, models Amped Evo Adult, part number BLH126, in sizes MD, XL, 2XL, Amped Evo Rapid Adult, part number BLH142, in sizes MD, LG, 2XL, 3XL, and Amped Evo Youth, part number BLH127, in sizes SY, LY, and XLY. The helmet may not adequately protect the wearer in the event of a head impact during a crash. As such, these helmets fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
What could happen
A helmet that does not provide adequate impact protection increases the risk of injury during a crash.
The fix
Comoto will replace the helmet with a compliant BILT model helmet, free of charge, or provide credit to replace the helmet. Owner notification letters were mailed April 18, 2022. Owners may contact Comoto customer service at 1-800-292-5343.
