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: This recall involves a structural vehicle defect where installed tires lack the load rating required for the vehicle's weight capacity, creating a direct risk of tire failure and crashes. However, no injuries, crashes, or deaths have been reported in the source text, and per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where no injury has yet been reported score at most 3.
