Owner Letter Information
December, 1987
Dear Owner:
Ford Motor Company has found that the truck described below requires the attachment of the enclosed Safety Compliance Certification label.
Vehicle Description:
Serial Number:
Reason For The Program:
The Accessory Reserve Capacity (ARC) weights shown on the Safety Compliance Certification label (located on the driver's door lock pillar) are too
heavy. ARC weights indicate the maximum allowable weight of permanent accessories or equipment that can be installed on a vehicle. ARC weights are
described in your Owner Guide under "Vehicle Load Capacity".
What Might Happen:
^
ARC weights that are too heavy indicate that too much additional accessory weight can be added to the truck. The additional weight could cause
your truck to weigh more than the weight for which it was certified to applicable safety standards.
^
Installation of the allowable accessory weights shown also could result in loading the front axle to more than its GAWR (Gross Axle Weight
Rating).
What You Should Do:
Please apply the label to your truck over the existing certification label. This label is located on the door lock pillar on the driver's side of the truck. If
you prefer, your Ford dealer will install the label. If permanent accessories have already been installed and you are unsure of the total weight effect,
contact your Ford dealer. Your dealer will assist you with overall weight and front axle weight loading determination.
To Install New Label:
^
Check to see that the truck identification number on the new label is the same as that on the original label (located on the door lock pillar on
the driver's side). If they are not the same, don't install it. Contact your Ford dealer.
^
Do not try to remove the original label. Clean the surface of the original label by wiping it with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dirt or film
that may be there.
^
Peel the backing off the new label and apply the new label directly over the original label on the door lock pillar. Rub the new label lightly
with a soft cloth to remove any wrinkles or bubbles.
