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 defect (propane tank detachment) that creates a significant risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating (score 4) due to significant injury/property-damage potential.
