Specialized recalls S-Works 2D helmets

[hagar]

Specialized, in cooperation with the Consumer Product
Safety Commission, has issued a voluntary recall of its range-topping S-Works 2D
helmet in the U.S.on> and
Canadaon>. Approximately 3000 helmets
are included in the recall, although helmets sold in other markets are not
affected.
According to the official CPSC recall notice, the helmet does not
currently meet North American safety standards. Specialized, however, claims the
testing failures have been solely isolated to the chin strap buckle. Currently,
no injuries have been reported.
2D owners are asked to immediately return
their helmets to a Specialized dealer. Affected helmets will be replaced by a
complimentary Decibel model (as in yes, you get to keep it) until new helmet
shipments arrive this month. The new helmet will simply be dubbed 'S-Works' and
will also include a protective hard carrying case.
