DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

[Docket No. NHTSA–2010–0056; Notice 1] 

Yokohama Tire Corporation, Receipt of 

Petition for Decision of 

Inconsequential Noncompliance 

Yokohama Tire Corporation, (YTC) 1, 

has determined that approximately 

8,238 of its P215/60R15 93H AVID H4S 

passenger car replacement tires, 

manufactured between December 2, 

2007, and September 19, 2009, do not 

fully comply with paragraph S5.5.1 of 

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 

(FMVSS) No. 139, New Pneumatic 

Radial Tires for Light Vehicles. YTC has 

filed an appropriate report dated 

January 19, 2010 pursuant to 49 CFR 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1
28320 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 97 / Thursday, May 20, 2010 / Notices 

2 YTC’s petition, which was filed under 49 CFR 

Part 556, requests an agency decision to exempt 

YTC as replacement equipment manufacturer from 

the notification and recall responsibilities of 49 CFR 

Part 573 for 7,836 of the affected tires. However, the 

agency cannot relieve FTS distributors 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 FTS recognized that the 

subject noncompliance existed. Those tires must be 

brought into conformance, exported, or destroyed. 

Part 573, Defect and Noncompliance 

Responsibility and Reports. 

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

30120(h) (see implementing rule at 49 

CFR part 556), YTC 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 YTC’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 approximately 8,238 size 

P215/60R15 93H Yokohama AVID H4S 

brand passenger car replacement tires 

manufactured between December 2, 

2007, and September 19, 2009, at YTC’s 

plant located in Salem, Virginia. 

Approximately 7,836 of these tires have 

been delivered to YTC’s customers. The 

remaining tires (approximately 402) are 

being held in YTC’s possession until 

they are correctly relabeled. 

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, 

these provisions only apply to the 

approximately 7,836 2 tires that have 

already passed from the manufacturer to 

an owner, purchaser, or dealer. 

Paragraph S5.5 of FMVSS No. 139 

requires in pertinent part: 

S5.5 Tire markings. Except as specified in 

paragraphs (a) through (i) of S5.5, each tire 

must be marked on each sidewall with the 

information specified in S5.5(a) through (d) 

and on one sidewall with the information 

specified in S5.5(e) through (i) according to 

the phase-in schedule specified in S7 of this 

standard. The markings must be placed 

between the maximum section width and the 

bead on at least one sidewall, unless the 

maximum section width of the tire is located 

in an area that is not more than one-fourth 

of the distance from the bead to the shoulder 

of the tire. If the maximum section width 

falls within that area, those markings must 

appear between the bead and a point one-half 

the distance from the bead to the shoulder of 

the tire, on at least one sidewall. The 

markings must be in letters and numerals not 

less than 0.078 inches high and raised above 

or sunk below the tire surface not less than 

0.015 inches. * * * 

S5.5.1 Tire Identification Number 

(a) * * * 

(b) Tires manufactured on or after 

September 1, 2009. Each tire must be labeled 

with the tire identification number required 

by 49 CFR part 574 on the intended outboard 

sidewall of the tire. Except for retreaded tires, 

either the tire identification number or a 

partial tire identification number, containing 

all characters in the tire identification 

number, except for the date code and, at the 

discretion of the manufacturer, any optional 

code, must be labeled on the other sidewall 

of the tire. Except for retreaded tires, if a tire 

does not have an intended outboard sidewall, 

the tire must be labeled with the tire 

identification number required by 49 CFR 

part 574 on one sidewall and with either the 

tire identification number or a partial tire 

identification number, containing all 

characters in the tire identification number 

except for the date code and, at the discretion 

of the manufacturer, any optional code, on 

the other sidewall. 

YTC explains that the noncompliance 

is that, due to a mold labeling error, the 

markings on the non-compliant tires 

omits the partial tire identification 

number on one of the sidewalls as 

required by paragraph S5.5.1(b). YTC 

explains that the non-compliant tires 

include the full Tire Identification 

Number (TIN) on one sidewall but omits 

the partial serial number on the other 

sidewall. YTC reported that this 

noncompliance was brought to their 

attention when ‘‘one of several molds 

were being certified and readied as part 

of a production quantity of replacement 

tires for the USA.’’ 

YTC argues that this noncompliance 

is inconsequential to motor vehicle 

safety because the noncompliant 

sidewall marking does not affect the 

strength of the tires and all other 

labeling requirements have been met. 

YTC supports this conclusion with 

the following arguments: 

• Warranty and claim data for the subject 

tire model, for which production has been 

continual since November 2002, reveals a 

very small number of tire warranty returns 

and no reports of claims associated with 

accidents or tire failure incidents. 

• The TIN becomes important in the event 

of a safety campaign and enables the owners 

to properly identify tires included in a 

captive action campaign. While the subject 

tires are noncompliant with the current 

FMVSS No. 139 sidewall marking regulation 

that requires a full TIN on the sidewall and 

at minimum a partial TIN on the other 

sidewall, these subject tires have a full TIN 

on one sidewall that can be used in case of 

a special campaign. These tires are marked in 

the same manner that was the requirement 

for many years prior to FMVSS No. 139 that 

now requires the application of the 

additional TIN identifier in a full or partial 

form. The absence of one TIN identifier on 

the one tire sidewall does not prohibit the 

ability to identify the tire as part of a safety 

campaign or tire recall when required. 

YTC concludes in part that ‘‘the actual 

tire performance is not inconsequential 

as it relates to motor vehicle safety 

because the actual tire performance is 

not affected by this noncompliance, and 

in the unlikely event that the tires 

become subject to a safety or recall 

campaign, the tires can be identified by 

the single TIN on one sidewall of the 

tire.’’ 

Furthermore, YTC points out three 

other factors that support its petition: 

• All of the subject tires have been tested 

and certified compliant with all of the other 

durability requirements of FMVSS No. 139 

for high speed, endurance, and low inflation 

pressure performance, and physical 

dimensions, resistance to bead unseating and 

strength. 

• There have been a very small number of 

tire warranty returns (the incorrect markings 

were found when molds were being certified 

and readied). 

• YTC has designed and implemented 

verification countermeasures to prevent any 

re-occurrence of any incorrect tire markings. 

Supported by all of the above stated 

reasons, YTC believes that the described 

noncompliance of its tires to meet the 

requirements of FMVSS No. 139 is 

inconsequential to motor vehicle safety, 

and that its petition, to exempt it from 

providing recall notification of 

noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 

30118 and remedying the recall 

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.
