On July 3, 2025, both the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Transport Canada announced a joint recall by helmet maker 509 and Polaris for a specific range of helmets because they may not offer effective protection in the event of a crash.
Several models and sizes are affected, and certain models are only eligible for repair, while others are eligible for your choice of repair, replacement, or a refund. To keep things simple, we're going to put the information into a table for ease of reading.
Three separate issues exist, according to 509's report to Transport Canada. All 509 Tactical 3.0 and 509 for Polaris Tactical 3.0 helmets may not provide sufficient protection in a crash. Only small and medium sizes of the 509 Tactical 2.0 helmets with Fidlock and 509 for Polaris Tactical 2.0 helmets, which were manufactured in 2023, may not offer adequate protection in a crash.
