Kylin recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Midwest Motorsports LLC (Midwest) is recalling certain Kylin helmets, model number K77, in sizes L, XL and XXL. The helmets 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
Midwest will notify the helmet purchasers and instruct them to return the helmets for a full refund. Owner notification letters were mailed May 5, 2022. Owners may contact Midwest customer service at 1-616-935-7443.
