What is wrong
WSB Inc (WSB) is recalling certain SC101 half-helmets, in all sizes, manufactured January 1, 2018 to January 31, 2018. The affected helmets may not adequately protect the wearer's head in the event of an impact, and an object may penetrate the helmet. 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 properly protect the wearer's head can increase the risk of injury to the wearer in the event of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
WSB will notify owners and replace the helmets or refund the owners, free of charge. Owners may contact WSB customer service at 1-855-322-3733.

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.
