Volkswagen reduced Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (gvwr) label, reflecting the additional weight of the side steps, was not installed.
The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the other labels. Here is what owners need to know.
The reduced Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) label, reflecting the additional weight of the side steps, was not installed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
Without the reduced GVWR label, the vehicle could be overloaded, leading to a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will install the reduced GVWR label, free of charge.
