Sirco recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Sirco Industries, Inc. (Sirco) is recalling certain models of warning triangle kits, part number SI1005, manufactured by Fuzhou Torch Industrial Co., Ltd. and imported by C&J International Trading as part number TO-502. The affected warning triangle kits do not have the manufacturer's name permanently marked on each triangle in the kit. The warning triangles may also be unstable in high winds. As such, these warning triangles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 125, "Warning Devices."
What could happen
Noncompliant warning triangles are at an increased risk of performance failure, and thereby may increase the risk of a crash or other safety hazards to motorists by failing to warn other motorists of an impending hazard.
The fix
Sirco will notify owners and offer a full refund or a suitable replacement item. The recall is expected to begin during December 2014. Owners may contact Sirco Customer Service at 1-800-323-0647.
