I hate to hear this but I'd hate it more if they were HJC helmets. I just got 2 last month.

the gist of it
Vega Helmet Corp. is recalling more than 30,000 XTS motorcycle helmets after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said people using the helmets may not be adequately protected in a crash, according to the NHTSA’s web site. The recall will start in late January and centers on large, extra-large and extra-extra-large (or XXL) helmets. The models in question were made between May 2011 and last October. Vega will replace the recalled helmets.
