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 fire hazard where the entire motorhome could catch fire, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural defects leading to severe consequences.
