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: This is a structural vehicle defect involving loss of critical safety displays (speedometer, warning lights) that increases crash risk. Although no deaths or serious injuries are reported in the source text, the defect involves safety-critical information systems and represents a significant risk of harm, placing it in the High category.
