The caption and the remedy steps are the record's own words.
A generic drawing of the kind of part, not the part itself. The failure mark follows the record's verb; the phrases on the right are the record's own words. The test dummy stands for the risk the notice names (“risk of a fire”); it is not a record of something that happened.
