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 affects a critical steering component, but no injuries or deaths have been reported. The hazard is potential—difficulty steering could increase crash risk—rather than documented. This matches the rubric criterion for High severity: risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
