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 vehicle lighting component that fails to meet federal safety standards and could reduce visibility, increasing crash risk. However, no injuries or fatalities have been reported, and the hazard is theoretical. Per the rubric, with no reported harm and a theoretical safety risk, the score is at most 3.
