Our severity reasoning: This recall addresses a fuel system defect in commercial vehicles that could lead to fire in the presence of an ignition source. However, no fires, injuries, or deaths have been reported as of the recall notice. The hazard is potential rather than realized, placing it at the 'High' level for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
