Safety risk
An incorrect label may lead an owner to overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
SET will notify owners, and provide a corrected label for placement over the inaccurate label, free of charge. The recall began on July 14, 2016. Owners may contact SET customer service at 1-866-405-4226.
