Vehicle Identification

Component Information Label

NOTE: Labels shown in this chapter are ex-
amples only. Actual specifications may vary from
vehicle to vehicle.
The component information label lists the vehicle
model, identification number, and major component
models. It also lists the major assemblies and instal-
lations shown on the chassis specification sheet.
One copy of the component information label is in-
stalled on the right-side dash; another copy is inside
the rear cover of the Owner's Warranty Information
for North America booklet. An illustration of the label
is shown in Fig. 1.1.

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard Labels
NOTE: Due to the variety of Federal Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) certification re-
quirements, not all of the labels shown will apply
to your vehicle.
Tractors with or without fifth wheels purchased in the
U.S. are marked as certified by means of an FMVSS
certification label. See Fig.

Fig. 1.2, Vehicle Certification Label
The tire and rim portion of the FMVSS certification
label certifies suitable tire and rim combinations that
can be installed on the vehicle, for the given gross
axle weight rating. Tires and rims installed on the
vehicle at the time of manufacture may have a higher
load capacity than that certified by the tire and rim
label. If the tires and rims currently on the vehicle
have a lower load capacity than that shown on the
tire and rim label, then the tires and rims determine
the load limitations on each of the axles.
Trucks built without a cargo body that are intended
for service in the U.S. have an incomplete vehicle
certification label attached by the final-stage manu-
facturer. See Fig. 1.4. This label will be attached to
the incomplete vehicle document included with the
vehicle, and certifies that the vehicle conforms to all
applicable FMVSS regulations in effect on the date of
completion.
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard Labels
In Canada, tractors with fifth wheels are marked as
certified by means of a statement of compliance label
with the Canadian National Safety Mark attached to
the driver-side door frame B-pillar. See
If purchased for service in Canada, trucks built with-
out a cargo body and tractors built without a fifth
wheel are marked as certified by a "Statement of
Compliance" label, similar to
be attached by the final-stage manufacturer to certify
that the vehicle conforms to all applicable Canada
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) regulations
in effect on the date of completion.

Component GWR Label

The component GWR label is located on the
passenger-side B-pillar. The label provides maximum
GWR ratings for each component.
