Component:
Equipment
Affected:
13,305
Defect:
Certain choice 3 piece reflective warning trinagle kits sold by bhc investment corp., fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 125, "warning devices." the measurement of the inner orange fluorescent material is smaller in width than required by the standard.
Consequence:
As a consequence, the reflective properties of the warning triangle have been deminished and may not be clearly visible to oncoming traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Notifications to bhc's distributors were mailed on september 6, 2012. bhc will either replaced the warning triangle with a domestically purchased one or credited the customer's account. owners may contact bhc at 1-704-916-3435.

Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
