Simpson Performance Products has recently discovered a potential safety
issue with its Snell SA 2015 Voyager 2 helmet.
If the helmet’s chin strap
experiences large tensile forces during an accident, it could
detach
from one
or both sides of the helmet. This presents an enhanced risk of injury to the
head should the helmet not be retained in a crash.
Simpson Performance Products is
voluntarily
recalling the Snell
SA
2015
Voyager 2
helmet due to the
chin strap’s potential inability to
withstand load forces on a consistent basis
.
The problem was
discovered during testing with the Snell Foundation. We stress that
no problems have been reported from the field in nine months of use but
i
n the interest of racing safety, we are proactively recalling these products
and providing our customer
s with a safe
resolution. This recall applies
to
the Snell SA 2015
Voyager 2
Model only
, sizes Extra Small
–
Large
with
manufacturing dates in 2016 only
(the only sizes sold and available to
date)
. It does NOT apply to any other Simpson helmet models with
Voyager in the name, i.e.
NOT Snell
SA
2010
Voyager
or
Snell
SA 2010
Sidewinder Voyager, etc.
It is only the Snell SA 2015 Voyager
2 helmet
as pictured here.
