On certain fifth wheel trailers, the Federal Identification Tag does not contain the correct Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). The label incorrectly indicates a GAWR of 3,632 kg / 8,000 lbs, but instead should read of 3,405 kg / 7,500 lbs. Loading beyond actual GAWR could result in poor vehicle handling characteristics, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Updated labels will be mailed to owners of affected vehicles, along with instructions for proper installation.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2011138.
