The issue
On certain motorhomes equipped with a Diesel engine, the tow hitch receiver information label incorrectly lists the weight carrying capacity value of 10,000 lbs and tongue weight value of 1,000 lbs. The correct weight carrying capacity value is 5,000 lbs and the tongue weight value is 500 lbs. Correction: Owners will be provided with corrected tow hitch weight information labels and installation instructions.
