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 the defect may lead to a crash possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural vehicle defects.
