What is wrong
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."
What can 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
Recall repairs are free of charge.
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.

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.
