What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The risk

THIS INFORMATION COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN CONSUMERS LOADING THEIR VEHICLES BEYOND THE GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR).

The remedy

THE CAPACITY WILL BE REDUCED ON BOTH VEHICLES AND A NEW WEIGHT RATING LABEL WILL BE INSTALLED. BOTH VEHICLES HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE AND PARKED UNTIL REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE.

CUSTOMERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
