Plain-English summary

Comoto Holdings, Inc. is recalling certain Bilt motorcycle helmets, including the Amped Evo Adult, Amped Evo Rapid Adult, and Amped Evo Youth models. The affected helmets may not adequately protect the wearer in the event of a head impact during a crash. As a result, these helmets fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."

The specific models and part numbers involved are the Amped Evo Adult (part number BLH126) in sizes MD, XL, and 2XL; the Amped Evo Rapid Adult (part number BLH142) in sizes MD, LG, 2XL, and 3XL; and the Amped Evo Youth (part number BLH127) in sizes SY, LY, and XLY. A helmet that does not provide adequate impact protection increases the risk of injury during a crash.

Comoto will replace the helmet with a compliant BILT model helmet, free of charge, or provide credit to replace the helmet. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 18, 2022. Owners may contact Comoto customer service at 1-800-292-5343 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
