- Summary
- Certain trucks fail to comply with requirements of part 568, 'vehicles manufactured in two or more stages, all incomplete, intermediate and final-stage manufacturers of vehicles manufactured in two or more stages.' the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) label, as applied, may not be accurate. The GVWR label may indicate that the vehicle's load capacity is higher than the designed weight rating.

- Remedy
- Autocar will send a letter which describes the discrepancy in GVWR labeling, and will include a complete set of revised GVWR labels including a revised incomplete vehicle document label along with instructions for application of the labels.

Has your Autocar been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Autocar dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
