Issue

On certain travel trailers, the certification label may not contain the correct Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The GAWR is correctly stated as 1,588 kg (3,500 lbs) however the number of axles was represented as two instead of one axle. Therefore the GVWR was incorrectly stated as 3,397 kg (7,489 lbs). The correct GVWR is 1,809 kg (3,989 lbs). Incorrect GVWR could result in overloading, potentially causing damage to trailer and affecting vehicle handling. This could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Updated labels will be mailed to owners of affected trailers.
