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 (coolant line routing) that causes loss of drive power, which the source explicitly states increases the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
