Choice recall: Equipment
What is wrong
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.
What could happen
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.
The fix
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 customerÂs account. Owners may contact BHC at 1-704-916-3435.
