What Happened

The Load Carrying Capacity Modification Label on your vehicle is used to warn you about the added weight of installed accessories. In some 2015-2016 models, this label might not show the correct weight, which could confuse you about how much you can safely load your vehicle.

Risk if Unfixed

If you overload your vehicle based on an incorrect label, you could lose control of your vehicle, especially when driving on uneven terrain or making sharp turns, increasing the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your dealer will provide a corrected label that accurately shows the added weight of your vehicle's accessories, free of charge. You should install this new label as soon as you receive it to ensure your safety.
