Braun recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Braun Corporation (Braun) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Braun-modified Chrysler and Dodge vehicles manufactured December 19, 2012, to May 5, 2015. The affected vehicles have certification labels that may have incorrect gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) information, and front and rear gross axle weight rating (GAWR) information printed on the Certification labels. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
What could happen
If the operator loads the vehicle based on information on the Certification label, the operator may overload the vehicle, adversely affecting the vehicle handling and braking and increasing the risk of crash.
The fix
Braun will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected certification label, free of charge. The recall began on August 6, 2015. Owners may contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359.
