What can happen

Safety consequence

THE CURRENT SPRINGS WERE NOT RATED PROPERLY TO ALLOW A SUFFICIENT GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR).

What fixes it

Official remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CURRENT SPRINGS WITH SPRINGS THAT WILL ALLOW THE AXLES TO BE RATED AT 5,200 LBS. EACH. ALSO A NEW FEDERAL CERTIFICATION LABEL AND METAL IDENTIFICATION PLATE WILL BE INSTALLED TO REFLECT THE INCREASED GAWR.
