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 structural defect in entry steps that could cause an occupant to fall and be injured, fitting the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
