What you should do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles. Turn off the key switch and remove the key, apply the parking brake, and remove the green and the yellow fuses from the white plastic fuse holders on the right-hand side under the seat. Return the unit to your nearest Lowe's store for a full refund. The firm is contacting consumers directly.
