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 fire hazard stemming from a defective fuel hose assembly, which represents a significant risk of harm. Although no injuries have been reported and the hazard is not yet realized, the potential for fire makes this a high-severity recall under the rubric criterion for "risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported."
