What this means for you

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 risk-of-harm product (brake failure leading to loss of control and crash hazard) where injury has been reported but is minor. Two scrapes and bruises are documented, and the hazard presents a credible risk of more serious injury even though the injuries reported to date are minor.
