SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Overview 

Toyo has determined that certain 

Toyo Open Country R/T light truck 

tires, do not fully comply with 

paragraph S6.5(j) of FMVSS No. 119, 

New Pneumatic Tires for Motor Vehicles 

with a GVWR of More Than 4,536 

Kilograms (10,000 Pounds) and 

Motorcycles (49 CFR 571.119). Toyo 

filed a noncompliance report dated 

March 15, 2021, and later amended it on 

April 2, 2021, pursuant to 49 CFR part 

573, Defect and Noncompliance 

Responsibility and Reports. Toyo 

simultaneously petitioned NHTSA on 

April 2, 2021, for an exemption from the 

notification and remedy requirements of 

49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that 

this noncompliance is inconsequential 

as it relates to motor vehicle safety, 

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

30120(h) and 49 CFR part 556, 

Exemption for Inconsequential Defect or 

Noncompliance. 

This notice of receipt of Toyo’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. Tires Involved 

Approximately 518 Toyo Open 

Country R/T light truck tires, size 

35X12.50R20LT 125Q, manufactured 

between January 29, 2021, and March 8, 

2021, are potentially involved. 

III. Noncompliance 

Toyo explains that the noncompliance 

was due to a mold error in which the 

sidewall with the partial TIN incorrectly 

states the load range as required by 

paragraph S6.5(j) of FMVSS No. 119. 

Specifically, the tires were marked: 

LOAD RANGE E when they should have 

been marked: LOAD RANGE F. 

IV. Rule Requirements 

Paragraph S6.5(j) of FMVSS No. 119 

includes the requirements relevant to 

this petition. The subject tires are 

required to be marked on each sidewall 

with the letter designating the tire load 

range. 

V. Summary of Toyo’s Petition 

The following views and arguments 

presented in this section, ‘‘V. Summary 

of Toyo’s Petition,’’ are the views and 

arguments provided by Toyo. They have 

not been evaluated by the Agency and 

do not reflect the views of the Agency. 

Toyo describes the subject 

noncompliance and contends that the 

noncompliance is inconsequential as it 

relates to motor vehicle safety. In 

support of its petition, Toyo submitted 

the following reasoning: 

During production, the plate 

containing the load range letter was not 

changed on the sidewall containing the 

partial TIN when production was 

converted from the load range ‘‘E’’ tire 

to the load range ‘‘F’’ tire. 

Toyo stated that the affected tire mold 

was immediately corrected after this 

issue was discovered and all future 

production will have the correct load 

range letter. 

For the 35X12.50R20LT tire size, Load 

Range E tires have a maximum load 

carrying capacity of 1,450 kg (3,195 lbs.) 

at 450 kPa (65 PSI); Load Range F tires 

have a maximum load carrying capacity 

of 1,650 kg (3,640 lbs.) at 550 kPa (80 

PSI). Thus, even if a consumer were to 

rely on the incorrect load range 

designation on the non-serial sidewall, 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 97 / Thursday, May 19, 2022 / Notices 30557 

there would be no associated risk of 

overloading. 

Toyo says that NHTSA has previously 

granted inconsequentiality petitions for 

similar FMVSS noncompliances and 

cited sections from the following 

previous petitions that NHTSA had 

been granted: 

• Guizhou Tyre Corporation; Grant of 

Petition for Decision of Inconsequential 

Noncompliance. 78 FR 12828, February 

25, 2013. 

• Yokohama Tire Corporation, Grant 

of Petition for Decision of 

Inconsequential Noncompliance. 84 FR. 

64403, November 21, 2019. 

• Tireco, Inc., Ruling on Petition for 

Decision of Inconsequential 

Noncompliance. 81 FR 58550, August 

25, 2016. 

Toyo says that the subject tires meet 

all other performance and regulatory 

requirements of FMVSS No. 119. 

Further, Toyo also says that they have 

not received any complaints, claims, or 

warranty adjustments related to this 

noncompliance. 

Toyo concludes that the subject 

noncompliance is inconsequential as it 

relates to motor vehicle safety as these 

tires have a higher load carrying 

capacity than the incorrect marking 

indicates, therefore, the marking will 

not cause an operator to overload the 

tires. Thus, Toyo believes that its 

petition to be exempted from providing 

notification of the noncompliance, as 

required by 49 U.S.C. 30118, and a 

remedy for the noncompliance, as 

required by 49 U.S.C. 30120, should be 

granted. 

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, any 

decision on this petition only applies to 

the subject equipment that Toyo no 

longer controlled at the time it 

determined that the noncompliance 

existed. However, any decision on this 

petition does not relieve equipment 

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.
