What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety-critical component (air bags) where failure increases the risk of injury in a crash, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
