What's wrong, in plain English
On some Bronco and Ranger vehicles, the tire and loading information label lists the wrong load-carrying capacity. Because the number is incorrect, an owner following the label could end up putting too much weight in the vehicle. Ford will mail a corrected label for owners to put over the old one, or a dealer can install it, free of charge.
What you should do
2. Contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332, or wait for the corrected label to arrive by mail.
3. The new label is free.
