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: A fuel system component defect that could cause fire qualifies as a risk-of-harm vehicle hazard. Since no fires or injuries have been reported, the hazard remains theoretical, warranting a High severity rating rather than Severe.
