What this means for you

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

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (brake hose) that can result in a loss of brakes and increase the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for significant injury risk.
