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 (improper welds on seat frames) that fails to meet federal safety standards and increases the risk of injury in a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
