Steel Rolling Chassis for Utility Vehicles Recalled for Crash and Injury Hazards

What this means for you

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: The throttle sticking hazard creates a direct risk of crash and injury to vehicle operators and passengers, and the source text names injury as a potential outcome. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the hazard is real and significant, placing this at High severity per the rubric criterion for "risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported."
