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 recall involves a critical brake system component with potential for serious harm (vehicle rollaway). However, no deaths or injuries have been reported, making the hazard theoretical. Per the rubric, a risk-of-harm product with no reported injury scores at most 3.
