Issue

Issue:
One truck was built with a compliance label that lists incorrect information. The label incorrectly list the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) as 39 008 kg. The label should instead list the GVWR as 32 000 kg. This could lead to overloading of the truck and cause poor handling or a tire failure.

Safety Risk:
Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and result in a crash.

Corrective Actions:
The company provided a corrected compliance label to the final assembler and it was attached to the truck. No further actions are required.
