Vintage Trailers Ltd. affected trailers have a Federal Certification Label that incorrectly lists the gross axle weight rating (gawr) of each axle as 5,200 pounds when the correct gawr is 5,080 pounds.
The short version
Vintage Trailers Ltd. reported a problem with the other labels. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected trailers have a Federal Certification Label that incorrectly lists the gross axle weight rating (GAWR) of each axle as 5,200 pounds when the correct GAWR is 5,080 pounds. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, "Wheels and Rims- Other than Passenger Cars."
If the operator overloads the trailer past the 15,200 pound gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) limit, axle failure may occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
Vintage will notify owners and will provide a corrected Federal Certification Label, free of charge.
