What is wrong
Multiprens, USA, Inc. (Multiprens) is recalling certain STK-100 triangle kits manufactured October 4, 2011, to July 21, 2014. The affected triangle kits may have have an incorrect inner border of the orange florescent material, the triangles may not be as reflective as required, and the reflector color may not be correct. Additionally, the triangles may also move under wind load, and may be subject to joint separation and discoloration after being used. As such, these triangle kits fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 125, "Warning Devices."
What can happen
Failure of the warning triangles to meet the Safety Standard requirements may result in other vehicles not being warned about a disabled vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Multiprens will notify owners and advise them to return the triangle kits for a full refund. The recall is expected to begin in April 2015. Owners may contact Multiprens customer service at 1-913-371-6999. Multiprens' number for this recall is MUSA0814.

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.
