PACCAR WARNING TRIANGLE KITS

  • Brand PACCAR

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

PACCAR Incorporated is recalling certain Mirrex and TRP-branded Warning Triangle kits sold between June 1, 2009, and July 2, 2014, under Paccar part numbers GMX1005K and MD1005K. The affected kits lack the manufacturer's name permanently marked on each triangle, which violates federal safety requirements for warning devices. Without these required markings, owners may not be able to identify which warning triangles are involved in the recall, and triangles with reduced visibility increase the risk of other vehicles crashing into a parked vehicle.

PACCAR will notify dealers and refund owners who purchased the warning triangle kits. The recall began on October 22, 2014. Affected owners should contact PACCAR customer service at 1-800-945-1231 and reference recall number PPD1407 to receive their refund.
