What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: A defect that can allow the vehicle to roll away is a structural vehicle defect, and the notice imposes an interim instruction to use the parking brake.
