Our severity reasoning: This recall involves a vehicle defect (ECM short-circuit causing unexpected engine stall) that creates risk of crashes and serious injury. However, the source reports no documented injuries, deaths, or actual crash incidents—the hazard is theoretical. Per the rubric, theoretical hazards with no reported injury are scored at most High (3).
