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 vehicle safety system (rear visibility) that directly affects crash risk. Although no injuries or deaths are reported in the source, the defect impairs a safety-critical function, placing it at the High level per the rubric's criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
