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 fire hazard from fuel leaks, which is a risk-of-harm product issue. The source explicitly states that no injuries or fires have been reported, which limits the severity to High (3) rather than Severe (4) or Critical (5) per the rubric.
