What is wrong
Tong Ho Hsing Industrial Co. (THH) is recalling certain Hawk AP-80 motorcycle helmets, part number T378, size M. 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."
What can happen
Helmets that do not adequately protect the wearer increase their risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THH will notify owners and provide a replacement helmet free of charge or they will offer a full refund. The recall is expected to begin during September 2016. Owners may contact THH customer service at 1-978-483-8072.

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.
