NHTSA recall campaign
16E032000
What was wrong
Defect
Soaring Helmet Corporation (Soaring) is recalling certain Vega CFS helmets, part number 7590, in all sizes, manufactured April 1, 2011, to April 29, 2011. The affected helmets may not adequately protect a user 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 (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
Risk
Helmets that do not adequately protect the wearer increase their risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Since the helmet purchasers are unknown, a notification was placed on the Vega website on May 4, 2016. Retailers will exchange the helmets for a different Vega helmet or offer a refund, free of charge. Owners may contact Soaring at 1-425-656-0683.
