What this recall means for you
Some trucks with a spray-in bed liner have a load carrying capacity label that may have been calculated incorrectly. If owners follow the label, the vehicle could be overloaded, which fails to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110 for tire selection and rims.
An overloaded vehicle can increase the risk of a crash. Owners should not rely on the existing label for how much weight the truck can carry until the correction is made.
