Summary of Issue

Inspectors that are finding chassis manufacturers Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) labels that are intended for a secondary vehicle manufacturer (body builder) as the sole Gross Vehicle Weight Rating label on the truck. The labels show a range of GVWRs. Vehicles in question do not have a label certifying the final weight rating, after the body or other post chassis manufacturer modifications are performed.

Justification or Need

Guidance is required so that inspectors know what GVWR to use when there is a variance on the label.

Request for Action

Supply guidance.
