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 safety-critical product (motorcycle helmet) that fails to meet federal safety standards for impact protection, creating a risk of injury during a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Nexxpro-Fabrica de Capacetes, S.A. is recalling certain NEXX X.G10 helmets in sizes M and S. These helmets may have been manufactured without an extra carbon layer, which means they may not provide adequate protection 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."

A helmet that does not provide adequate impact protection increases the risk of injury during a crash. The recall affects 18 units of the specified helmets.

Nexxpro will replace the affected helmets free of charge. Owners may contact Nexxpro customer service at 1-800-461-1226. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
