Official summary
"service bulletin - the trailer hitch weight was not properly calculated into the gross axle weight rating (gawr) on the vehicle certification label. This can create a situation where the vehicle exceeds the indicated gross axle weight rating. Additionally, the owner s guide incorrectly states the towing capacity of the vehicle is 1,500 lbs. The owner s guide should show a table listing the towing capacity based on the number of passengers in the vehicle."
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
