What was wrong

Defect

Cycle Gear is recalling certain Street & Steel brand Big Bore model motorcycle helmets, sizes Extra Small and Small. The helmets were manufactured in December 2012. During testing, some of the affected helmets did not comply with the dwell time requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."

Risk

In the event of a crash, the wearer may not be adequately protected, increasing the risk of injury.

Manufacturer remedy

Cycle Gear will notify owners and provide a replacement helmet or reimbursement. The recall began on September 23, 2013. Owners may contact Cycle Gear by calling 1-800-292-5343 or emailing customerservice@cyclegear.com.
