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: a broken spring can drop the stand onto the road while riding and cut the ignition, which is a loss of propulsion on a motorcycle.
