    I've only had the truck only a few months, but today I found a sticker I hadn't seen before. As you can see it's worn, but I'm concerned by what I can see. I marked out the VIN for privacy.

    Does anyone recognize it and know what it is?

    It’s common.

    It’s installed at the factory to note how much your load carrying capacity has been reduced due to the equipment installed. Looks like yours is 5 lbs.

    It let's you know the maximum weight the vehicle can carry has been reduced by 5kg. All 3 of my off road tacos had this sticker.

    It was a recall informing owners of the decreased carrying capacity. They have them at Lexus also.

    My 2011 RC has it also. References IIRC about 5 pounds off payload.

    Thanks for the replies, I guess I have nothing to worry about. It is sort of an odd thing - a sticker for 5lbs.

    I got a new label and I'm going to transfer the info from the old label and remove it, then attach the new label.

    When the recall was done, they put the label on crooked and my OCD...
