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 (fuel system failure) that causes the engine to shut off while driving, explicitly increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural vehicle defects.
