The issue
On certain fifth wheel trailers, the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) indicated on the compliance label may exceed the combined load carrying capacity of the trailer axles as well as the trailer hitch pin box. This could result in tire and axle overloading, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Owners will be sent a revised certification label with the correct GVWR.
Description (français)
Sur certaines roulottes à sellette, le poids nominal brut du véhicule (PNBV) indiqué sur l'étiquette de conformité pourrait dépasser la capacité de charge des essieux et la boîte de cheville d'attelage de la remorque combinés. Ceci pourrait causer une surcharge des pneus et des essieux, ce qui augmenterait les risques d'accident et pourrait entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels. Correction : Les propriétaires recevront une étiquette de certification révisée comportant le PNBV juste.
