Another leg is booked into W and showed the same thing. This is a $2000 fare, btw.
With LH, the fare class does not determine the type of ticket you have. LH offers three types, "light," "classic," and "flex." You can absolutely buy an LH S or W fare that is also a "light" fare. (Although the "light" W may not be available TATL, as others have noted.)
