You can send it to shoei. They'll check it out for free, you just pay shipping both ways.

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

Is this common? Do other helmet companies do this as well?

I believe Arai, Bell and Suomy do it as well.  Some might charge for return shipping.
