What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that a fire resulting from the defect has the potential for property damage, personal injury, or death, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe rating involving significant injury or property damage reports/potential.
Plain-English summary
Eldorado National is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 Aerolite, Aerotech, Aero Elite, and TransTech buses. The recall involves buses equipped with Grote Industries LED lamp markers.
