What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (overheating cooktop circuit board) that creates a fire risk, which falls under the NHTSA 'significant injury/property-damage reports' criterion for a Severe rating.
