What Happened
The tire and loading information label in your vehicle shows the correct weight capacity, but it might not be accurate. This is like a warning sign that tells you how much weight your vehicle can safely carry and what air pressure your tires should have.
Risk if Unfixed
If you rely on this incorrect label, you might overload your vehicle or put the wrong air pressure in your tires. This could lead to a tire blowout while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will provide you with a corrected label and instructions on how to install it. They can also install it for you if you prefer. This service is free, and you should contact your dealer to schedule the correction as soon as possible.
