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 vehicle defect (incorrect bolts on a bumper) that can cause the component to detach or fail during operation, creating a significant risk of injury and crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury reports.
