| Description of the problem | Tl*the contact owns a 2007 hyundai santa fe. The contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign id number 08v272000 (equipment:other:labels). He purchased the vehicle for the towing package that was included. The recall repairs would change the amount of weight the vehicle was allotted to tow. The initial label incorrectly lists the gross axle weight ratings. The initial weight ratings were 2,976 for the front and 3,197 for the rear. The new rating labels would drop the weight to 2,910 for the front and 3,131 for the rear, causing conflict with the equipment weight needing to be towed.
