What Happened
The certification label on your vehicle shows the maximum weight it can carry, but it may be overstating that weight. This could lead to unexpected handling issues if you load your vehicle beyond the actual safe capacity.
Risk if Unfixed
If you load your vehicle to the incorrect weight, you could lose control or struggle to stop in time, which could lead to an accident.
Free Fix
Your dealer will send you a new, accurate label for your driver's side door, which you should install to ensure you know your vehicle's safe weight limit.
