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 hazard is theoretical with no reported injuries. The defect causes inappropriate brake light illumination that may confuse other drivers, which is a secondary safety issue rather than primary brake system failure. A free software update resolves the issue.
