Problem: Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. Some of these vehicles were built with incorrect payload information on the vehicle certification label. The payload shown on the label is greater than the maximum validated payload. If the vehicle were loaded to the incorrectly labeled payload, it may not ride and handle in the manner that the driver expects.

Risk: This could result in a loss of control of the vehicle or an inability to stop the vehicle within expected stopping distances.

Fix: Owners will be sent a new label for installation on the driver's door of the vehicle.
