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: The recall involves a failure of the tire pressure monitoring system, a safety-critical component. While no injuries or deaths have been reported, the defect creates a material risk of harm—the source explicitly states that driving with improperly inflated tires increases crash risk. This meets the criteria for High (Score 3) as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
