SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. BMW’s Petition: Pursuant to 49 

U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) (see 

implementing rule at 49 CFR part 556), 

BMW submitted a petition 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 BMW’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. 

II. Vehicles Involved: Affected are 

approximately 68 MY 2015 BMW model 

X5 xDrive35i and model X5 xDrive35d 

MPVs manufactured between October 3, 

2014 through October 7, 2014. 

III. Noncompliance: BMW explains 

that the vehicle certification labels 

required by 49 CFR part 567, and some 

of the tire information labels required by 

FMVSS No. 110, affixed to the subject 

vehicles show that vehicles were 

originally equipped with 18-inch tires 

and rims. The vehicles were actually 

originally quipped with 19-inch tires 

and rims. BMW believes that the 

noncompliance is that the certification 

label required by 49 CFR part 567, and 

in some cases the tire information labels 

required by FMVSS No. 110, do not list 

rim information for the tires installed on 

the vehicles as original equipment as 

required by paragraph S4.3.3 of FMVSS 

No. 110. 

Rule Text: Paragraph S4.3.3 of FMVSS 

No. 110 requires in pertinent part: 

S4.3.3 Additional labeling information 

for vehicles other than passenger cars. Each 

vehicle shall show the size designation and, 

if applicable, the type designation of rims 

(not necessarily those on the vehicle) 

appropriate for the tire appropriate for use on 

that vehicle, including the tire installed as 

original equipment on the vehicle by the 

vehicle manufacturer, after each GAWR 

listed on the certification label required by 

§ 567.4 or § 567.5 of this chapter . . . 

V. Summary of BMW’s Analyses: 

BMW stated its belief that the subject 

noncompliance is inconsequential to 

motor vehicle safety for the following 

reasons: 

In the case of the subject vehicles 

with an incorrect Part 567 certification 

label but a correct FMVSS No. 110 tire 

information label, BMW states that 

when a person checks or adjusts the 

inflation of a tire and uses this (correct) 

FMVSS No. 110 tire information label, 

the person will have the correct 

inflation pressure available from that 

label. If, however, the person only looks 

at the certification label, or both the 

certification and tire information labels, 

BMW states that the person may then 

become unsure of what tires have been 

installed on the vehicle. Should this 

occur, BMW states that a number of 

information sources and services are 

available which can be used to 

determine the correct tire size and 

recommended cold inflation pressure. 

BMW states that these information 

sources include the tires installed on the 

vehicle which have the tire size 

information contained on their
