What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect (support bracket) that can cause a component to detach, explicitly increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'structural vehicle defect' criterion for a Severe rating.
