1See Gen. Motors, LLC; Grant of Petition for 

Decision of Inconsequential Noncompliance, 78 FR 

35355 (June 12, 2013) (finding noncompliance had 

no effect on occupant safety because it had no effect 

on the proper operation of the occupant 

classification system and the correct deployment of 

an air bag); Osram Sylvania Prods. Inc.; Grant of 

Petition for Decision of Inconsequential 

Noncompliance, 78 FR 46000 (July 30, 2013) 

(finding occupant using noncompliant light source 

would not be exposed to significantly greater risk 

than occupant using similar compliant light 

source). 

2See Morgan 3 Wheeler Limited; Denial of 

Petition for Decision of Inconsequential 

Noncompliance, 81 FR 21663, 21666 (Apr. 12, 

2016); see also United States v. Gen. Motors Corp., 

565 F.2d 754, 759 (D.C. Cir. 1977) (finding defect 

poses an unreasonable risk when it ‘‘results in 

hazards as potentially dangerous as sudden engine 

fire, and where there is no dispute that at least some 

such hazards, in this case fires, can definitely be 

expected to occur in the future’’). 

VI. NHTSA’s Analysis 

In determining inconsequentiality of a 

noncompliance, NHTSA focuses on the 

safety risk to individuals who 

experience the type of event against 

which a recall would otherwise 

protect.1 In general, NHTSA does not 

consider the absence of complaints or 

injuries when determining if a 

noncompliance is inconsequential to 

safety. The absence of complaints does 

not mean vehicle occupants have not 

experienced a safety issue, nor does it 

mean that there will not be safety issues 

in the future.2 Further, because each 

inconsequential noncompliance petition 

must be evaluated on its own facts and 

determinations are highly factdependent, NHTSA does not consider 

prior determinations as binding 

precedent. Petitioners are reminded that 

they have the burden of persuading 

NHTSA that the noncompliance is 

inconsequential to safety. 

NHTSA has evaluated the merits of 

the petition submitted by Toyo and is 

granting Toyo’s request for relief from 

notification and remedy of the affected 

tires based on the following. 

1. Based on a review of Toyo’s 

submission, the agency has no basis to 

believe that the subject tires do not meet 

all performance and marking 

requirements of FMVSS No. 119 with 

the exception of the incorrect load 

markings. 

2. NHTSA agrees that the incorrect 

marking will not cause the operator to 

overload the tires because the marked 

load carrying capacity is lower than the 

actual load carrying capacity of the tire. 

VII. NHTSA’s Decision 

In consideration of the foregoing, 

NHTSA finds that Toyo has met its 

burden of persuasion that the subject 

FMVSS No. 119 noncompliance in the 

affected tires is inconsequential to 

motor vehicle safety. Accordingly, 

Toyo’s petition is hereby granted, and 

Toyo is consequently exempted from 

the obligation of providing notification 

of, and a free remedy for, that 

noncompliance under 49 U.S.C. 30118 

and 30120. 

NHTSA notes that the statutory 

provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 

30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to 

file petitions for a determination of 

inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to 

exempt manufacturers only from the 

duties found in sections 30118 and 

30120, respectively, to notify owners, 

purchasers, and dealers of a defect or 

noncompliance and to remedy the 

defect or noncompliance. Therefore, this 

decision only applies to the subject tires 

that Toyo no longer controlled at the 

time it determined that the 

noncompliance existed. However, the 

granting of this petition does not relieve 

tire distributors and dealers of the 

prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale, 

or introduction or delivery for 

introduction into interstate commerce of 

the noncompliant tires under their 

control after Toyo notified them that the 

subject noncompliance existed.
