T-Motorsports is recalling an unknown number of motorcycle helmets
because the chin straps can fail and they might not protect a rider's
head in a crash.
The Chinese-made helmets failed low-temperature
impact tests, and the straps also failed tests, according to documents
posted Friday on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
website. The helmets also don't have the required labels saying the
month and year they were manufactured.
The documents did not say
how many helmets are covered by the recall or if anyone has been hurt
because of the problems. They also did not say where the helmets were
sold. The affected helmets have the model number HY803 and are
extra-large size, the documents said.
Messages were left Friday morning for the company, which is based in Pomona, Calif.
T-Motorsports
said in the documents that it will either offer repairs or refunds. It
plans to begin notifying customers the week of Sept. 14.
Owners with questions can contact T-Motorsports at (626) 388-9898.
