FLY Racing is recalling specific Model .357 helmets because the retention strap ring may separate in high heat, increasing crash injury risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 safety-critical product (motorcycle helmet) that fails to meet federal safety standards, creating a risk of harm in a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

FLY Racing is recalling certain Model .357 motorcycle helmets, size XL, manufactured between June 1, 2012, and December 31, 2012. The recall involves 972 units.

The metal ring on the retention strap may separate in high heat conditions. This defect means the helmets do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 218. A helmet that may not remain secure increases the risk of injury to the user in the event of a crash.

FLY will notify owners, and dealers will exchange or refund the affected helmets free of charge. The recall began on February 10, 2015. Owners may contact FLY customer service at 1-208-376-8400 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
