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 recall involves a fire hazard stemming from a defective fuel hose assembly, which represents a significant risk of harm. Although no injuries have been reported and the hazard is not yet realized, the potential for fire makes this a high-severity recall under the rubric criterion for "risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported."
