What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (improperly welded coupler) that can lead to trailer separation and increased crash risk, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects.
