Navistar recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain FLTTRIKIT3 warning triangle kits manufactured August 15, 2012, to July 25, 2014. The affected warning triangles may reflect an inadequate amount of light. As such, these warning triangles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 125, "Warning devices."
What could happen
Warning triangles that do not properly reflect light may fail to warn others that a vehicle is parked, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Navistar will send notices to all North American dealers to post recall notices at their service desks and service parts counters, to provide dealer communications for contacting their customers regarding the suspect triangle kits, and provide customers with a replacement triangle replacement kit, free of charge. The recall began on October 30, 2014. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this recall is 14513.
