What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Braun Corporation (Braun) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Braun-modified Chrysler and Dodge vehicles manufactured December 19, 2012, to May 5, 2015. The affected vehicles have certification labels that may have incorrect gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) information, and front and rear gross axle weight rating (GAWR) information printed on the Certification labels. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

The risk

If the operator loads the vehicle based on information on the Certification label, the operator may overload the vehicle, adversely affecting the vehicle handling and braking and increasing the risk of crash.

The remedy

Braun will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected certification label, free of charge. The recall began on August 6, 2015. Owners may contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to 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.
