[Docket No. NHTSA–2006–25975; Notice 1] 

American Honda Motor Co., Inc., 

Receipt of Petition for Decision of 

Inconsequential Noncompliance 

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. 

(Honda) has determined that the 

certification labels for certain Pilot 

trucks that it produced in 2006 do not 

comply with S5.3 of 49 CFR 571.120, 

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 

(FMVSS) No. 120, ‘‘Tire selection and 

rims for motor vehicles other than 

passenger cars.’’ Honda has filed an 

appropriate report pursuant to 49 CFR 

part 573, ‘‘Defect and Noncompliance 

Reports.’’

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 

30120(h), Honda has petitioned for an 

exemption from the notification and 

remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

Chapter 301 on the basis that this 

noncompliance is inconsequential to 

motor vehicle safety. 

This notice of receipt of Honda’s 

petition is published under 49 U.S.C. 

30118 and 30120 and does not represent 

any agency decision or other exercise of 

judgment concerning the merits of the 

petition. 

Affected are a total of approximately 

23,000 model year 2006 and 2007 

Honda Pilot trucks produced between 

February 17, 2006 and August 10, 2006. 

S5.3.2 of FMVSS No. 120 requires that 

the vehicles shall show the size 

designation appropriate for the tires. 

The noncompliant vehicles have 

certification labels stating that the rim 

size is 6 inches, when in fact the rim 

size is 16 inches. Honda has corrected 

the problem that caused these errors so 

that they will not be repeated in future 

production. 

Honda believes that the 

noncompliance is inconsequential to 

motor vehicle safety and that no 

corrective action is warranted. Honda 

presents the following basis for its 

petition: 

First, most vehicle owners, dealers, and 

tire service technicians would refer to the 

vehicles’ existing tires and/or the separate 

Tire Placard to determine the appropriate 

size for a replacement tire rather than to the 

Certification Label. Second, if the vehicle 

owner, dealer or tire service technician read 

the incorrect rim size on the Certification 

Label, it would be obvious that a full size 

vehicle could not use 6 inch wheels. Third, 

the tire size is listed correctly on the 

Certification Label. Fourth, the owner’s 

manual contains the correct rim size 

information. Fifth, the correct rim size is cast 

into the wheel itself. 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments on this petition. Comments 

must refer to the docket and notice 

number cited at the beginning of this 

notice and be submitted by any of the 

following methods. Mail: Docket 

Management Facility, U.S. Department 

of Transportation, Nassif Building, 

Room PL–401, 400 Seventh Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20590–0001. Hand 

Delivery: Room PL–401 on the plaza 

level of the Nassif Building, 400 

Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC. It 

is requested, but not required, that two 

copies of the comments be provided.
