The problem
The federal certification label overstates the gross axle weight rating (gawr) as 5,000 lbs. The correct gawr is 4,670 lbs. This does not conform to fmvss no. 120, "Tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars."
The risk
Consequence of non-compliance: the load rating for the tires and atires pressures designated on the federal certification label are not appropriate for the incorrectly stated gawr. Incorrect tire and tire inflations can result in tire failure and possible vehicle accident.
The fix
Owners will be sent replacement certification labels and instructions for replacing them. If they prefer, owners can have their dealers replace these labels for them.
