What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash due to an unexpected mechanical failure, but the source text does not report any specific injuries, fatalities, or agency classifications that would elevate the severity to Severe or Critical.
Plain-English summary
