What's wrong?
The OCCC label and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating label on the 2023-2025 Roadtrek Westfalia Wave tell an owner how much weight the van is built to carry. That includes people, cargo, installed equipment, and other load added to the van. The label is supposed to match the actual build, so the owner does not load the van past its rated capacity.
On affected Westfalia Wave Pop Top vans, the labels list the wrong weight information. The pop-top option weighs 191 pounds more than the non pop-top version, but the label does not reflect that added weight. An owner following the incorrect label can overload the van, which can damage tires, suspension, or brakes.
There is no reliable driving warning sign before damage starts. The owner-facing clue is the label itself: if the VIN is included, the weight label needs to be replaced with the corrected Roadtrek label.
Who's affected?
The same OCCC vehicle weight label is listed for each model year, with part number 208015500.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific RV is included.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrect weight label can cause an owner to load the Westfalia Wave past its true limit. Overloading puts extra strain on tires, suspension, and brakes, and increases the risk of a crash. Avoid loading to the printed limit until the label is replaced, and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Roadtrek dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2025 Roadtrek Westfalia Wave is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Roadtrek dealer to schedule the free label replacement that corrects the OCCC and GVWR weight information.
- Bring the recall notice if Roadtrek mailed one, or reference recall number 25V051 when you call.
- Avoid loading the van near its weight limits until the corrected labels are installed.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Roadtrek technician replaces the incorrect Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating labels with corrected labels for the 2023-2025 Westfalia Wave. The recall repair is free, including the replacement labels and labor. This is a labeling repair, so the service visit is focused on removing the wrong weight information and applying the corrected labels that match the vehicle.
