Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain FLTTRIKIT3 warning triangle kits manufactured from August 15, 2012, to July 25, 2014. The affected warning triangles may reflect an inadequate amount of light, causing them to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 125, "Warning devices."

Warning triangles that do not properly reflect light may fail to warn other drivers that a vehicle is parked, which increases the risk of a crash.

Navistar will send notices to North American dealers to post recall notices and provide customers with a replacement triangle kit free of charge. The recall began on October 30, 2014. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
