FMVSS Certification Label

57x d 01.03.000

Note: Due to the variety of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) certification requirements, 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.. This label is attached to the left-hand B-pillar, as shown in Fig..

Fig. 1, 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.

Tractors built without a fifth wheel that are intended for service in the U.S. have an incomplete vehicle certification label and a final certification label attached by the final-stage manufacturer. See Fig.. The incomplete vehicle document included with the vehicle certifies that the vehicle conforms to all applicable FMVSS regulations in effect on the date of completion.
