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: This recall involves a structural vehicle defect in which welded seams may separate on the awning, creating a risk of injury if the awning drops unexpectedly. However, the source text does not report any actual injuries or illnesses. Per the severity rubric, when the hazard is theoretical with no reported harm, the maximum score is 3 (High).
