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 structural defect in a safety-critical product (helmet) that could lead to injury during an impact, but no injuries or deaths have been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
Plain-English summary
Dainese S.p.A. is recalling 325 AGV Carbon Modular motorcycle full-face, flip-up helmets, model AGV 580. The defect involves glue applied to the screws that secure the chin bar components, which may have contacted the chin base polycarbonate material. This contact can cause the material to deteriorate prematurely.
The deteriorated polycarbonate material may result in the chin base detaching during an impact, which increases the risk of injury to the wearer. No specific injuries or deaths are reported in the source text.
The recall began on February 12, 2018. Dainese will notify owners, and dealers will replace the helmets free of charge. Owners may contact Dainese customer service at 1-855-327-5639 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
