Manufactured:

10/15/2015 - 11/11/2015

Affected:

Defect:

Ivolution sports inc. (ivolution) is recalling certain iv2 jx-sky 3/4 open face helmets manufactured october 16, 2015, to november 12, 2015. the affected helmets have a detachable skull mohawk portion that was affixed with a metal screw instead of a plastic screw, preventing the mohawk from easily detaching in the event of a crash. as such, these helmets fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 218, "motorcycle helmets."

Consequence:

If the mohawk feature of the helmet does not detach in the event of a crash, the rider could be at an increased risk of neck injury.

Correction:

Ivolution will notify owners, and provide a full refund for all returned helmets. the recall began on september 13, 2016. owners may contact ivolution customer service at 1-951-852-6327.
