Volkswagen affected vehicles may be equipped with a Federal Certification Label that lists an incorrect rear axle weight limit.
The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the other labels. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles may be equipped with a Federal Certification Label that lists an incorrect rear axle weight limit. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
The listed weight limit is low enough that the vehicle owner may ignore the weight limits and overload the vehicle and exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected certification label, free of charge.
