The affected helmets may not adequately protect the wearer's head in the event of an impact, and an object may penetrate the helmet.
As such, these helmets fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
A helmet that fails to meet the safety requirements can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
20,009 units are affected.

The pin for the center stand spring may have been improperly welded, and, as a result, the pin may shift or fall off resulting in the spring detaching and the center stand dropping to the ground unexpectedly and dragging while riding.
The dragging center stand can cause a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
390 units are affected.
