The defect
ON CERTAIN TAG AND PUSHER AXLE ASSEMBLIES PURCHASED FROM RIDEWELL, THE AXLE ASSEMBLIES HAVE AN ACTUAL WEIGHT RATING LESS THAN THAT SPECIFIED ON THE LABEL AND THEREFORE FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF PART 567.5, "CERTIFICATION."
The risk
LOADING THE TAG/PUSHER AXLE TO THE GAWR LABEL RATING OR LOADING THE VEHICLE TO THE GVWR LABEL RATING WILL CAUSE THE PUSHER/TAG AXLE TO BE OVERLOADED.
