NHTSA recall campaign
19E076000
What was wrong
Defect
Matrix Headgear LTD (Matrix) is recalling certain Alpha motorcycle helmets, in all sizes. The helmet retention system may fail, allowing the helmet to separate from the wearer's head in the event of a crash. Additionally, 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 (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
Risk
A helmet that does not stay secured to the head or adequately protect the wearer from an impact increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Matrix will notify owners and will reimburse the cost of the helmet. The recall began January 8, 2020. Owners may contact Matrix customer service at info@matrixhelmets.com.
