- **Low Priority** - This indicates that there are potential issues with the tracker or asset and you should considering investigating to resolve any potential issue. 
    - Examples include: 
          - OBD Tracker is associated to an asset and the asset's battery is low
          - OBD Tracker is connected to an asset, but is not associated 
                  - This could be a potential failed VIN read during association that you should manually pair to resolve, or a vehicle battery that is low and needs addressed.
- **Medium Priority** - This indicates that the tracker/asset requires more prompt attention and should be actioned accordingly.

    - OBD tracker is associated to an asset but is not connected to the asset 
          - This could be the tracker is associated and has been unplugged from your vehicleExamples include:
