Issue
Sub-components in the micrometric buckle may, over time, result in the micrometric buckle not automatically engaging the buckle as intended by the design and the user must manually latch the buckle to securely fasten the helmet. In circumstances where the buckle does not automatically engage, if the user does not follow the instructions in the helmet’s user safety manual to ensure that the helmet is securely fastened prior to riding a motorcycle and/or the user fails to engage the ratchet manually, the user could potentially ride a motorcycle when the buckle is not securely fastened. A helmet that is not securely fastened may not remain secure on a user’s head during an accident, which increases the risk of severe injury or death.
As of April 4, 2024, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.
