Plain-English summary

Roadhouse Distribution Inc. is recalling approximately 974 Voss 888CF motorcycle helmets in sizes XS through XXL. These helmets were manufactured between June 1, 2013, and October 31, 2014.

The affected helmets failed penetration testing due to inadequate material in the helmet shell. As a result, they do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 218, which governs motorcycle helmets. This defect means the wearer may not be adequately protected, increasing the risk of personal injury during a vehicle crash.

The safety recall began on January 22, 2015. Roadhouse will notify owners and resellers and provide a replacement helmet free of charge. Owners may contact Roadhouse Distribution Inc. at 1-877-431-2453 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
