What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (brake pedal failure) that poses a risk of crash, but the source explicitly states that no injuries have been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
