Decoding Your GMC Truck’s Safety Compliance Label

When you purchase an outstanding truck like the GMC Sierra 1500, you’ll see a safety compliance certification label, normally adhered to inside the driver’s side door. So, what is this label, and what does the information printed on it mean? Here’s everything you need to know from your friends at Matt Nimey GMC.

What is a Safety Compliance Label?

The safety compliance label shows that the vehicle you’re purchasing meets federal safety standards. Our dealership proudly complies with all legal regulations, so each GMC vehicle comes with one of these labels. Located in the driver’s-side door jamb, it’s a convenient way to see your vehicle’s vital specs and capabilities at a glance.

What Information is On the Label?

The safety compliance label includes a long list of important information, including:

• Manufacturing company (in our case, GMC)
• Manufacture date
• Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and gross nominal weight (PNBV)
• Front and rear gross axle weight rating (GAWR)
• Front and rear tire and rim specifications
• Recommended tire pressure
• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
• Body type
• Statement of federal safety certification based on the manufacture date

If you have any questions about how to decode the information on this label (or where to find the sticker on your GMC Sierra 1500), just let us know, and we’ll be happy to walk you through it.
