What this means for you

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 (hydraulic mount failure) that could cause the dump bed to collapse, posing a significant risk of personal injury, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury reports.
