What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: Rubric level 4 covers structural vehicle defects: an under-tightened inverter bolt can produce a total loss of motive power as well as an electrical short and fire.
