What this recall means for you
Some 2013 to 2015 Chrysler and Dodge vehicles converted by Braun Corporation have certification labels that may list incorrect gross vehicle weight rating and front and rear gross axle weight rating information. If the driver loads the vehicle based on these labels, the vehicle may be overloaded, which can affect handling and braking and increase the risk of a crash.
If you own an affected vehicle, Braun will notify you, and an authorized dealer will install a corrected certification label at no cost to you. The recall began on August 6, 2015. You can also contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359 with questions.
You should also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls. Until the corrected label is installed, be cautious about loading your vehicle to the weights printed on the existing label.
