Issued by Velvac, Inc. · Reported Dec 5, 2014 · 9,216 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Velvac, Inc. (Velvac) is recalling certain warning triangle kits under brand name Velvac TO-502 Part No 90235 and brand name Torch Industrial TO-205 Part No. 090235, manufactured December 28, 2012, to April 10, 2014. These warning triangle kits do not comply with configuration, stability, color, and durability testing. Thus, these warning triangle kits fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 125 "Warning devices."

Consequence

If the warning triangle fails to provide adequate stability and reflectivity when used outdoors, it can increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Velvac will notify owners, and dealers will replace the warning triangles, free of charge. The recall began January 22, 2015. Owners may contact Velvac customer service at 1-262-787-7102.
