What this means for you

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 improper deployment increases the risk of injury, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities.
