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 safety-critical component (turn signals) with a potential risk of crashes if the signals fail, but no actual injuries, deaths, or crashes have been reported in the source text. This fits the criterion for Score 3: risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
