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 vehicle defect (seat belt anchorage) that increases the risk of occupant injury in a crash, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
