That doesn't seem to bad and all they have to do is stick on a new label. I assume you'd know when you've overloaded a car, they just feel different.
[Recall] 2016-2017 Buick Envision
Buck Envisions that were manufactured between February 4,2016 to April 25,2016 are mentioned in this recall for "inaccurate tire and loading information labels"
Found this on the gmauthority site this morning. Doesn't seem like anything too much, but if you're someone that follows those labels directly, you may want to check it out and see if you're part of it.

Yea it really doesn't seem like anything crazy. There was another vehicle where they had a sticker that said load has been reduced by 8lbs. Really ?! I'm sure people are conscious of these things as it is
that's when you know you've gone over by too much since by then it's too much tension on the vehicle, you shouldn't have to feel much resistance, but of course that feel and how someone interprets it varies, for that reason number are needed when talking about it over a platform like this.That doesn't seem to bad and all they have to do is stick on a new label. I assume you'd know when you've overloaded a car, they just feel different.
Do you really know the weight of all the stuff you put in your trunk though... ?
Well if you overloaded it to the point you can feel a difference then you've gone over by way too much.
I've only ever done that once a long time ago with a Toyota. I knew it was overloaded when I tried to accelerate and felt the car struggle. Shouldn't have the same problem with the Envision and it has more power for hauling more in the trunk.
I mean, this isn't a tow truck or an old Tahoe. Not really something I would try to fill to the brim with heavy things lol
