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 (engine control module) that can cause an engine stall, which the source text explicitly states can increase the risk of a crash.
