What's wrong?
The Federal placard on a 2014-2017 Tiny Idahomes recreational vehicle or cargo trailer is the certification label that lists the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, or GVWR. GVWR is the maximum loaded weight the vehicle is rated to carry, including the trailer itself, cargo, fluids, options, and anything added after purchase. Owners, tire shops, and service desks use that label as the quick reference for loading and setup.
On affected Tiny Idahomes vehicles, the placard used the wrong GVWR calculation. The recall report states that the label understated the actual GVWR, so the number printed on the vehicle does not match the corrected rating. The vehicle itself is not being described as having a broken axle, frame, or brake part in this recall. The defect is the certification label, which gives the wrong weight-rating information.
There is no warning sign before failure. You would not hear, feel, or smell this problem while driving or towing; the issue is found by checking the Federal placard and replacing it with a corrected placard.

What's the safety risk?
An incorrect GVWR label can make the vehicle's weight limit unclear. That can lead to improper loading, which increases crash risk. Use the corrected GVWR label when loading the vehicle, and ask the dealer to replace the placard if needed. Repair is free at any franchised Lincoln dealer.
