What's wrong?
The Federal ID tag on a 2025 Alliance Rv Avenue travel trailer is the weight label owners use before loading for a trip. It lists the unloaded vehicle weight, the trailer weight before cargo, and the cargo carrying capacity, the amount of gear, water, and supplies the trailer is rated to carry.
On the recalled Avenue trailers, the RV was weighed with the landing legs down. Those legs carried part of the trailer's weight during the scale reading, so the unloaded weight was calculated too low. That wrong number carried onto the federal placard and made the cargo capacity look higher than it is.
The owner will not see a broken part or dashboard warning. The sign to watch for is adverse towing after loading, meaning the trailer does not tow normally because it has been overloaded based on the wrong label.

What's the safety risk?
An overloaded Avenue increases the risk of a crash. Excess weight also creates adverse towing behavior, so keep cargo within the posted limits and schedule the placard replacement soon. Repair is free at any franchised Alliance Rv dealer.
