What’s wrong with it?
The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.
CERTIFICATION LABELS AFFIXED TO SOME OF THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, CONTAIN INCORRECT INFORMATION REGARDING THE REAR GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING.
THE WEIGHT RATING, AS STATED, IS TOO LOW AND THE TIRES WERE NOT ADEQUATELY INFLATED TO SUSTAIN THE CORRECT LOAD.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
