I guess what I was referring to is the statement in the FMCA
magazine to the effect that dealers will afix "new labels stating
the weight limits for each of the three front storage bays". The
official NHTSA recall notice doesn't explicitly mention the cargo
bay weight limits but it does mention a label stating weight limits.
This label may simply say 17000# or it may also spec out the
cargo bay limits. It's unclear. Maybe FMCA has it wrong.
If I move into a 450, I'd like to know if the CCC is greatly reduced
due to the recall. I'm not aware of any pre-recall limitation of the
weight per cargo bay or the distribution of weight, other than not
to exceed the axle rating. Please let me know if this exists.

loading is already specified somewhere. Either in the bays or in the
vehicle manual. After the modifications, the specifications will be
changed.
