These warning triangles are being withdrawn from the market. Don’t you have one in your car?

28/09/2019

Two different warning triangles are being withdrawn from the European market. Both have stability problems in the wind and both do not comply with the European Standard ECE27 according to the Rapex Alert.

Borgi

The first one bears the Borgi brand on the red plastic packaging and the KL-D7 code on the product itself (see pictures).

Also, refer to E9 27R034054 homologation mark and barcode 8592038101023.

The latter is missing the manufacturer’s name.

The only guidelines are the E11 27R043555 homologation mark and the 8586017592353 barcode.

Rapex Alert A12/1451/19

Update 1. 11. 2019: Notification A12/1451/19 has temporarily been unpublished from web report 2019-40 at the request of the notifying authority due to an ongoing investigation.

Rapex states:

“The stability of the warning triangle is inadequate. Consequently, the triangle could easily overturn and oncoming vehicles would not be warned of the presence of an obstacle, increasing the risk of accidents.”

EU supervisory authorities ordered distributors: Recall of the product from end users, Warning consumers of the risks, Withdrawal of the product from the market.

If you purchased one of these triangles, contact the seller for more information.

You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
