What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 is scored as High (3) because it presents a structural vehicle defect with risk of harm—an awning that may extend during transit and cause distraction or crash risk—but no injuries or deaths have been reported. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported score at most 3.
