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 in the electrical system that explicitly increases the risk of fire, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating.

Plain-English summary
