What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (motorcycle helmet) where the defect (failure to meet impact attenuation standards) creates a significant safety risk, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Tucker Rocky Distribution is recalling certain models of Cyber River Road Grateful Dead U-6 motorcycle helmets in small and medium sizes. These helmets were manufactured in December 2012. The recall involves 342 units.

During testing, the affected helmets failed to conform to the impact attenuation requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 218, "Motorcycle Helmets." As a result, the helmet may not adequately protect the wearer in the event of a crash.

Tucker Rocky will attempt to notify owners via signs in dealerships and media outlets, as the company does not have records of the owners. The helmets will be replaced with helmets that meet FMVSS requirements, free of charge. The recall began on September 4, 2014. Owners may contact Tucker Rocky customer service at 1-817-258-9247 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
