What happened

Fuel is recalling certain motorcycle helmets in small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes due to a defective chin strap that may fail to keep the helmet secured during a crash. The affected models are SH-HHFL64, SH-HHGL1, SH-HHFL65, SH-HHGL15, SH-HHGL16, SH-HHFL66, SH-HHFL67, and SH-HHGL17. The strap failure can occur in low or high temperatures and increases the risk of injury to riders if their helmets become loose or detached during an accident.

Owners of affected helmets should contact Fuel customer service at 1-855-355-3835. Fuel will replace the helmet free of charge as part of the recall that began July 7, 2018.
