NHTSA NOTIFICATION STATEMENT

or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Transportation Safety

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that
a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.

dealer, or Bushtec Manufacturing & Sales, Inc.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-

STEPS FOR DETERMINING CORRECT LOAD LIMIT
(1)
Locate the statement “The weight of cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX
lbs.” on your trailer’s placard (located on tongue next to VIN).
(2)
This figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
(3)
Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the
vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load
capacity.
