Plain-English summary

Multiprens USA, Inc. is recalling certain STK-100 triangle kits manufactured between October 4, 2011, and July 21, 2014. The affected kits may have an incorrect inner border of the orange fluorescent material, may not be as reflective as required, and may have incorrect reflector colors. Additionally, the triangles may move under wind load and are subject to joint separation and discoloration after use. As a result, these kits fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 125, "Warning Devices."

The failure of the warning triangles to meet Safety Standard requirements may result in other vehicles not being warned about a disabled vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. The recall is expected to begin in April 2015.

Owners should contact Multiprens customer service at 1-913-371-6999 to return the triangle kits for a full refund. Multiprens' number for this recall is MUSA0814. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
