What is wrong
Motovan Corporation is recalling certain Zox Old School Motorcycle Helmets, size XL, manufactured in December 2008. During testing, the affected helmets failed to conform to the impact attenuation and penetration 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.
Motovan will attempt to notify owners via motorcycle consumer magazines since they have no record of the owners. The remedy for this recall campaign is still under development. Customers may contact Motovan at 1-450-449-3903.

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.
