What was wrong

Defect

Tegol, Inc. (Tegol) is recalling certain motorcycle helmets, models AX-3 Series, AX-4 series, and TG-5 Series Outlaw helmets, all sizes. The affected helmets fail to conform to the impact attenuation, penetration, labeling, and retention requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."

Risk

In wearing a noncompliant helmet, the user may not be adequately protected in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.

Manufacturer remedy

Tegol will notify owners and will either replace any noncompliant helmet or offer a full refund. The recall began on September 18, 2013. Owners may contact Tegol's recall Hotline toll-free at 1-866-371-0281.
