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: Loss of drive power is a safety-critical defect that increases crash risk, but the source does not report any actual crashes, injuries, or fatalities. This meets the criterion for High severity: a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
