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 risk-of-harm product where the defect may increase the risk of injury in a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary
