[Docket No. NHTSA–2006–25981; Notice 1]
Michelin North America, Inc., Receipt
of Petition for Decision of
Inconsequential Noncompliance
Michelin North America, Inc.
(Michelin) has determined that certain
tires that it imported in 2005 and 2006
do not comply with S6.5(d) of 49 CFR
571.119, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) No. 119, ‘‘New
pneumatic tires for vehicles other than
passenger cars.’’ Michelin 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), Michelin 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 Michelin’s
petition is published under 49 U.S.C.
30118 and 30120 and does not represent
any agency decision or other exercise of
PO 00000

judgment concerning the merits of the
petition.
Affected are a total of approximately
6,189 11R24.5 Load Range H
BFGoodrich DR444 tires produced
between November 20, 2005 and July
22, 2006. S6.5(d) of FMVSS No. 119
requires that each tire shall be marked
on each sidewall with ‘‘[t]he maximum
load rating and corresponding inflation
pressure of the tire * * *.’’ The
sidewall labeling on the subject tires
incorrectly states the maximum dual
load carrying capacity. They are
incorrectly marked ‘‘Max load dual 3075
kg (6780 lbs) at 830 kPa (120 psi).’’ They
should have been marked ‘‘Max load
dual 3000 kg (6610 lbs) at 830 kPa (120
psi).’’ The tires are correctly marked for
the maximum single load carrying
capacity. Michelin has corrected the
problem that caused these errors so that
they will not be repeated in future
production.
Michelin believes that the
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety and that no
corrective action is warranted. Michelin
states,
When both single and dual loads are
marked on the tire (as is the case here),
FMVSS No. 119 requires that performance
compliance testing be done based on the
single (higher, more punishing) tire load.
Therefore, an incorrect maximum dual load
marking is inconsequential and [the] tire
meets all FMVSS No. 119 minimum
performance requirements.
Michelin cites NHTSA’s grant of a
previous inconsequential
noncompliance petition it submitted for
a similar maximum dual load
noncompliance (69 FR 62512), where
NHTSA stated,
The agency also agrees that safety will not
be compromised for the tires marked with the
incorrect ‘‘max load dual’’ since the more
severe ‘‘max load single’’ load is marked
correctly. In addition, these tires meet or
exceed all of the performance requirements
of FMVSS No. 119, and all other
informational markings as required by
FMVSS No. 119 are present.
Michelin says that the tires meet or
exceed all other FMVSS No. 119
requirements.
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views, and
arguments on this petition. Comments
