What is wrong
Shark is recalling certain medium and extra large RAW motorcycle helmets manufactured August 22, 2013, to June 29, 2014. During testing, some of the affected helmets failed to conform to the impact attenuation requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
What can happen
By wearing a helmet that fails to meet impact requirements, 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.
Shark will notify owners and will direct owners to contact service provider Realtime Results who will replace the helmet, free of charge. The recall began on January 30, 2015. Owners may contact Realtime Results at 1-888-770-7157.

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.
