Details

What's wrong: The affected trailers may be equipped with a federal certification label that lists an incorrect unloaded vehicle weight (uvw), causing the cargo carrying capacity (ccc) to be overstated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 cfr part 567, "certification."

Why it matters: If the operator loads vehicle per the information on the label, the vehicle may exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr), thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Grand design will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected label, free of charge. The recall began on January 11, 2016.
