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: This recall involves a fire hazard in recreational vehicles where quick disconnect fittings may crack and leak LP gas. Since no injuries or deaths have been reported in the source material and the fire hazard is contingent on the presence of an ignition source, this meets the criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported,' resulting in a High severity score.
