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: GAWR label error on commercial trucks creates risk of vehicle overloading and crashes, fitting the rubric criterion of 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.' No injuries or accidents have been documented.
