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 vehicle defect (fracturable aluminum burner tubes) that poses a potential fire risk. However, no fires, injuries, or deaths have been reported as of the recall date, and the consequence is stated as potential rather than confirmed.
