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

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as Severe because the source explicitly identifies the component as 'STRUCTURE:CRITICAL FASTENERS' and notes that a detached tire increases the risk of a crash, meeting the rubric criteria for structural vehicle defects.
