Vega Helmet is recalling more than 30,000 XTS motorcycle helmets after testing found that a few did not meet crash protection safety standards.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said people using the helmets may not be adequately protected in a crash. 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, according to a notice posted Saturday on the NHTSA's website.Vega, based in Tukwila, Wash., said it will replace the recalled helmets.The NHTSA told Vega that four extra-large helmets didn't meet safety standards when tested earlier this year. The company investigated and found the helmets fell out of compliance partially due to changes in the model's shell design.
