Home › Cars & vehicles › Helmet City, Inc. — Helmet Straps may Stretch…
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
If the helmet straps stretch significantly in the event of a crash, the helmet may not remain secured to the user's head increasing their risk of injury.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
