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 structural vehicle defect (fuel pump failure) that increases the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, aligning with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
