What is wrong
Fuel is recalling certain motorcycle helmets, model SH-HR2066, size L, model SH-HR2067, size XL, and model SH-HH0017, size XL, all manufactured in September 2010. The helmets fail to conform to the impact and retention requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
What can happen
By wearing a noncompliant helmet, the user may not be adequately protected in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Fuel will notify distributors and will either replace any noncompliant helmet or offer a full refund. The safety recall began during November 2012. Owners may contact Fuel at 1-800-971-4630.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
