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 air bag component with a potential projectile hazard during deployment. Although no injuries or deaths have been reported and the hazard is theoretical (the emblem 'may' separate), it presents a risk-of-harm scenario in vehicles with this defect, warranting a High severity rating.
