H&H Sports Recalls VCAN V531 Motorcycle Helmets for Retention Failure

H&H Sports Protection is recalling VCAN V531 motorcycle helmets sold on Amazon because the retention system may fail, allowing the helmet to separate from the head during a crash.

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) with a defect that 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 where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

H&H Sports Protection is recalling certain VCAN V531 motorcycle helmets in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL. These helmets were sold exclusively through Amazon. The recall involves 4,218 units.

The helmet retention system may fail, allowing the helmet to separate from the wearer's head in the event of a crash. As a result, these helmets fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets." A helmet that does not stay secured to the head can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Amazon will notify helmet purchasers and instruct them to return the helmets for a full refund. Owners may also contact H&H Sports at 1-626-444-0107 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
