What's wrong?
The VIN certification label on a 2021-2023 Bwise Dump Trailer is the fixed label that identifies the trailer and lists its certified weight ratings. One of those ratings is GAWR, the gross axle weight rating, which tells an owner, dealer, or inspector the maximum weight each axle is certified to carry.
On affected trailers, the label printed the GAWR as 4,995 lbs. The correct GAWR is 6,000 lbs. Bwise traced the problem to incorrect data entry, so the trailer itself is not described as having a mechanical defect. The problem is that the label understates the certified axle rating and needs to be replaced with the correct label.
There is no warning sign before failure because this is not a part that wears out or breaks. An owner would notice the issue only by reading the VIN certification label and seeing the 4,995 lbs rating instead of 6,000 lbs.

What's the safety risk?
An incorrect label can cause an owner to overload the trailer without intending to, which increases the risk of a crash. Until the label is replaced, avoid loading near the posted limit and confirm whether your VIN is included. Repair is free at any franchised Bwise dealer.
