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 in the propane system that could lead to a cylinder detaching, posing a significant risk of injury or crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for significant injury reports or structural vehicle defects.
