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: The passenger air bag is a critical safety system, and a torn air bag during deployment could fail to protect occupants in a crash or cause burns from escaping hot gases. However, the source text reports no injuries or deaths. Per the rubric, when no illnesses or injuries are reported and the hazard is theoretical, the score is at most 3.
