Impacted models include Tactical 2.0, Tactical 3.0, Altitude 2.0, Delta and Mach helmets. The helmets were sold in youth sizes small to large and adult sizes from extra small to 4X large.
The company reported that 26,822 of the recalled helmets were sold in Canada and 156,726 in the U.S. between January 2020 and May 1, 2025.Â
What’s wrong with the recall helmets?
The 509 Tactical 3.0 helmets and 509 for Polaris Tactical 3.0 helmets including the youth, mountain and trail helmets fail to comply with some marked certification standards, Health Canada explains.
This means they might not provide enough protection in the event of a crash, which poses a risk of head injury.
The small and medium size 509 Tactical 2.0 helmets, 509 Tactical 2.0 helmets with Fidlock, and 509 for Polaris Tactical 2.0 helmets, which were manufactured in 2023, may not provide adequate impact protection in the event of a crash, posing an increased risk of head injury.
Certain 509 and 509 for Polaris helmets with Fidlock, which were manufactured from 2020 to present with a stainless steel glide bar, the webbing on the chin strap may not be routed correctly.
Expanded recall notice issued for certain Polaris and 509 branded helmets due to impact hazard.

As of July 1, 2025, the company has received no reports of incidents in Canada, and no reports of injuries. In the U.S., the company has received one report of the helmet detaching during a collision and one report of concussion.
