Defect	On one vehicle, the final-stage manufacturer's compliance label lists an incorrect gross axle weight rating (GAWR) for the front and rear axles. The label incorrectly lists the front axle capacity as 5443 kg (12000 lb.) and the rear axle capacity as 9525 kg (21000 lb.). The label should instead list the front axle capacity as 4536 kg (10000 lb.) and the rear axle capacity as 8618 kg (19000 lb.). This could lead you to overload the vehicle, which could cause poor handling or a tire failure._x000D_ Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of vehicle control and result in a crash.
