What is wrong
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.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
OWNER WILL BE SENT A CERTIFICATION LABEL STATING THE CORRECT GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING. TIRES SHOULD BE INFLATED TO 75 P.S.I. TO COMPLY WITH LOAD REQUIREMENTS.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
