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: 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.
