Recall 14E048000: Equipment

NHTSA recall 14E048000 · announced July 25, 2014 · Imperial · 16,527 units affected

The problem

Imperial Supplies, LLC, a division of W.W. Grainger, Inc., is recalling certain triangle warning signs manufactured by Torch. Test reports indicate that the triangle warning signs, labeled C&J, may reflect an inadequate amount of light. As such, these triangle warning kits fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 125, "Warning devices."

The risk

Warning triangles that do not properly reflect light may fail to warn others that a vehicle is parked, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

Imperial Supplies, LLC will notify customers and will replace the current triangle warning signs with new triangle signs. The recall began in late September 2014. Owners may contact Imperial Supplies, LLC customer service at 1-800-558-2808 ext 4964344.
