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 (electrical system) that causes loss of essential safety systems (ignition, lights) and explicitly states an increased risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
