Sunright is recalling Rodia RHD200 and RHD200V motorcycle helmets because the chin strap may stretch in a crash, allowing the helmet to separate from the rider's head.

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 safety-critical product (motorcycle helmet) where a defect increases the risk of injury in a crash, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Sunright International of America, Inc. is recalling certain Rodia RHD200 and Rodia RHD200V motorcycle helmets in all sizes. The affected helmets were manufactured between August 1, 2008, and July 31, 2018.

The recall is due to a defect where the chin strap may stretch when load is applied, such as during a crash. This can allow the helmet to separate from the rider's head, increasing the risk of injury. These helmets fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 205, "Motorcycle Helmets."

The recall began on October 12, 2018. Sunright will refund the purchase price for the affected helmets. Owners may contact Sunright customer service at 1-770-682-3035. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
