What is wrong
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH A THREE LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY INSTEAD OF A FOUR LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY. THE PRESENT THREE LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY IS RATED FOR 5000 LBS. RATHER THAN 6000 LBS. AS INDICATED BY THE GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING STATED ON THE CERTIFICATION LABEL. IF THE AXLE SYSTEM IS SUBJECTED TO OVERLOADING, POOR TRAILER TOWING STABILITY COULD RESULT AND THE SPRING COULD BREAK.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, INSTALL THE CORRECT FOUR LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY, WITHOUT CHARGE.

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.
