Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is a functional software defect (unsuccessful calibration) rather than a direct physical or biological threat, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.
