04/22 Comoto were notified that the sizes M, & XXL helmet manufactured in 2021 that were tested at ACT Lab USA were found to be noncompliant with FMVSS 218.
06/22 after discussion with the manufacturer, Foshan City Nanhai Manufacturing Co Ltd. Comoto submitted a further M size for compliance testing. ACT reported to COMOTO that this size had also failed the penetration tests. Comoto notified Foshan City Nanhai Manufacturing again of the failure and they started to do some investigation internally and in August they provided ACT Labs China with improved liners in the Route helmets.
These all passed (XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL) The vendor then sent sizes S, M, L, XL, XXL to Comoto to submit for retesting at ACT Labs USA. We were notified in October that the three sizes M, XL, and XXL had failed to comply.

After reviewing all tests, Comoto decided to voluntarily initiate this recall.
