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: The recall involves a structural defect in a critical safety system (seat restraint), but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source. The hazard is theoretical—the seat 'may not properly restrain' occupants—and per the rubric, theoretical hazards without reported injuries score at most 3.
