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 can 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
Recall repairs are free of charge.
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 customers account. Owners may contact BHC at 1-704-916-3435.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
