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 (defective weld) that could cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
