About 201,200 509 and Polaris branded helmets are being recalled because they fail to provide sufficient protection during a crash, which can lead to head injuries. The recall covers multiple models including Tactical 3.0, Tactical 2.0, Altitude, Delta, and Mach series helmets manufactured between 2020 and 2025. One rider has already reported suffering a concussion after their helmet detached during a crash. Depending on the specific model and size, consumers are eligible for a refund, replacement, or a repair to the chin strap.
The recalled helmets do not provide adequate impact protection in the event of a crash. Additionally, the chin strap webbing on certain models with Fidlock® fasteners may be incorrectly routed, which can cause the helmet to detach from the rider's head during a collision, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets. Consumers with a recalled "509" branded Tactical 3.0 or Tactical 2.0 (small/medium manufactured in 2023) helmet should contact 509 for instructions on how to participate in the recall and to receive a choice of a refund (if purchased online), or a credit to be used on 509's website or a replacement helmet. Consumers with a recalled "509 for Polaris" branded Tactical 3.0 or Tactical 2.0 (small/medium manufactured in 2023) helmet should contact Polaris for a choice of a refund, a credit to use at a Polaris dealership or on the Polaris website, or a replacement helmet. Proof of purchase is not required. All helmets should be discarded in the local household trash after consumers have confirmed their helmet is being recalled by 509 or Polaris and follow the destruction instructions located on the website. Polaris is also providing their customers who have the recalled 509 and 509 for Polaris helmets with Fidlock®, with instructions on how to inspect the webbing on the chin strap to make sure it is repaired, by routing it correctly. 509 and Polaris are contacting all known purchasers directly.
