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 recall involves a structural vehicle defect where a component may separate, creating a road hazard that could result in a vehicle crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury risk.
