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 safety component (air bag) that may fail to inflate, increasing the risk of occupant injury in a crash. No injuries or deaths are reported in the source text, and the agency classification is not provided, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
