OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL
14E054000
Equipment
Reported Aug 18, 2014 · Buyers Products Company
Summary
Buyers Products Company (Buyers Products) is recalling certain warning triangles, part numbers ERT10 (3 pack), and ERT01 (single piece) manufactured March 2011 to June 2014. Due to having an insufficiently rigid joint between the base and the triangle and being improperly filled with ballast, the affected triangles may blow over from wind gusts. As such, the triangles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 125 "Warning Devices."
Consequence
If the triangle blows over in wind gusts, such as those from passing vehicles, other drivers may not be adequately warned of a stopped vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Buyers Products dealers will notify owners, and refunds will be given for the purchased warning triangles. Buyers Products notified its dealers beginning on August 26, 2014. Owners may contact Buyers Products customer service at 1-440-974-8888. Buyers Products' number for this recall is TSB-ERT10.
Notes
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.
