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: A control unit shutdown that causes loss of drive power is a structural failure of the propulsion system, meeting the Severe criterion for a structural vehicle defect.
