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 explicitly states that an oil leak in the engine compartment may cause a fire. According to the rubric, significant injury/property-damage reports or risks (such as fire) in vehicles warrant a score of 4 (Severe).
