I have one of those DOT German Helmets that I wear when riding my motorized bike. Well... just the other day, I got a recall notice in the mail.
The recall is for TMS Motorcycle helmets Model HY-803 sixe XL manufactured in 2010.

The letter just states that they fail to conform to Federal Vehicle safety standard 218. They enclosed a paid fedex return label to send it off for some sort of repair.

Any of you guys or gals have one of these and have not recieved a recall notice, the letter says you can contact [email protected] with any questions.
 
I am definately sending mine off. I was just posting this in case there was someone out there who has one of these that wasn't aware of the recall.
