Issue

On certain travel trailers, the Federal Identification Tag and the Cargo Carrying Capacity Label do not contain the correct Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The labels incorrectly indicate a GAWR of 4,160 lbs instead of 3,500 lbs and GVWR of 8,320 lbs instead of 7,700 lbs. Loading beyond actual GAWR and/or GVWR could result in poor vehicle handling characteristics, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Updated labels will be mailed to owners of affected vehicles, along with instructions for proper installation.
