The load carrying capacity modification labels on your vehicle help ensure you can safely carry the right amount of weight. Your 2005-2010 vehicle may be missing these labels.
Risk if Unfixed
If you don't have these labels, you might not know how much weight your vehicle can handle, which could lead to an overloaded vehicle and increase the risk of a tire blowout or other problems.
Free Fix
Your dealer will send you the correct label or install it for free, and they'll also update your owner's manual. This is a free service, and you should contact your dealer to schedule it.
