What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

The defect may cause the system to not operate as expected. If this occurs, the operator may be unable to control an increase in the engine's RPMs, which increases the risk of engine failure and vehicle fire.
