    quality control seems to be a thing of the past now. Good looking out for everyone with this recall.

    This is why I will never buy a DOT only helmet. They are self certification and only get called out when DOT does a random test. They dont random test every helmet, at most they may random test 6 or 7 from different manufacturers per year. Awesome you got wind of this and posted it..

    You are the MAN! I am checking to see if my wife's helmet is in the recall. It is one of the models and purchased from Cycle Gear. I am doing what I can to figure out manufacture date, find a receipt, etc. Once again you are so VERY informative! Thank you do much!

    Dude this is good information. I have a Bilt helmet in my garage and carry it as a spare for passengers. This needs to be shared.

    I just bought a Bilt Route for my wife last summer. I will be checking the details when I get home. Thanks Eric!!!

    Must have been a manufacturing problem. I read that article as well. Big problem as they want them back to be destroyed. That’s a big foul up.

    • @KrakensGarageandAdventures
      @KrakensGarageandAdventures  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It is a big foul up, but they're generally a very low-cost helmet. I hope the word gets out to keep folks out of harm's way.

    Great community message, Eric. I’m quite sure that the general motorbike market has many unsuitable helmets on sale and already on the road. ✌️

    Comoto stands to win on this. Those who get store credit will just spend it on more expensive helmets moving forward. Good on ya for sharing it.

    Kudos to you Eric for helping to get the word out on another recall. I can only imagine or wonder if any of the 18k+ folks affected of the BMW recall also happen to be one of 18k+ folks affected by this Bilt helmet recall 😳😵‍💫

    Another import recall video Eric ! As a rule of thumb, I never buy a helmet brand that isn’t used on track on a professional level such as MotoGp or F1 (mainly F1) Cheers amigo.

    Awesome of you to put that out. Quite serious fault. I was interested to hear about notifying if the helmet was with another owner. It's illegal to sell second hand helmets in Australia. Ride well. Cheers

    Wow, I don't remember hearing of such a big recall on helmets before. Someone done screwed up on this one. I wonder just HOW they found out about their defective helmets? I can't help but think someone must have been in a serious accident and the helmet failed, so they were ordered to start testing, and....major financial hit. I don't own a bilt, never have, but thanks for letting us all know. Important info to share.

    Bought one cause it was cheap and I needed one for my beginners class. Don’t really like it. Kind of just sits in my room. Happy to send it back. Although I did spend money on it so I’m wanting a replacement. Gonna try to update this after the whole process is through.

    Hi Eric... Thank you for the recall info... I am guilty of buying Bilt helmets. You can't beat some of the deals they have on discontinued models. I know the old saying "you get what you pay for" but being that I only have scooters and rarely go above 40mph I somehow justify going cheap on headgear... On a side note... I just found that TH-cam-er "HandyDadTV" uses your intro music...

    • @KrakensGarageandAdventures
      @KrakensGarageandAdventures  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Don't defend your decisions on gear. Lord knows there's many year's I couldn't afford decent gear. We all make decisions based on return on investment. Typical, we don't put a whole lot of money on a limited usage of gear. This was just a PSA to help a few folks.
      I don't own the copyrights to the music, so anyone is more than welcome to use the same music.
      My message here is if you bought this gear, protect yourself and get a credit on your purchase. I hope I didn't offend you Mark.

      @@KrakensGarageandAdventures Hi Eric.. I was in no way offended by your reply... I sincerely thank you for bringing that recall to my attention (I didn't hear anything from the folks at Cycle Gear). Fortunately, none of my Bilt helmets were affected... As for the opening theme song... I just found it funny that you and Handy Dad chose the same song... Very catchy tune... Eric, keep up the good work. I really enjoy your Chanel
