3. Paragraph S4.3(d) requires that the
original tire sizes, be stated on the
vehicle placard. Adrian placed the rim
size on the tire and loading information
placard, rather than the tire size.
However, the tire size is clearly
identified on the vehicle certification
label along with the rim size. Both tire
size and rim size are available to the
owner for the associated vehicle and it
would be impossible to mount a tire on
the vehicle using the rim numbers as a
tire size.
4. The vehicle certification label
which is mounted on the vehicle next
to the tire and loading information
placard contained the correct English
and Metric information for tire size, tire
pressure, and GVWR but had a vehicle
type identified as ‘‘van’’ rather than
‘‘truck’’. While this classification ‘‘van’’
is not recognized by the agency, Adrian
believes that this is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety.
Adrian stated that its Customer Care
Center has never received a call or
communication of any type with regard
to the tire and loading information
placard or the vehicle certification label.
Adrian first became aware of the
noncompliance when it was contacted
by NHTSA in response to a vehicle
inspection conducted by NHTSA.
Adrian also stated that it has
corrected the problem that caused these
errors so that they will not be repeated
in future production.
In summation, Adrian states that it
believes that the noncompliances are
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety
and that no corrective action is
warranted.
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.
Interested persons are invited to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a
motor vehicle that was not originally
manufactured to conform to all
applicable FMVSS shall be refused
admission into the United States unless
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:49 Dec 09, 2008
Jkt 217001
NHTSA has decided that the motor
vehicle is substantially similar to a
motor vehicle originally manufactured
for importation into and sale in the
United States, certified under 49 U.S.C.
30115, and of the same model year as
the model of the motor vehicle to be
compared, and is capable of being
readily altered to conform to all
applicable FMVSS.
Petitions for eligibility decisions may
be submitted by either manufacturers or
importers who have registered with
NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR Part 592. As
specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA
publishes notice in the Federal Register
of each petition that it receives, and
affords interested persons an
opportunity to comment on the petition.
At the close of the comment period,
NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has
received, whether the vehicle is eligible
for importation. The agency then
publishes this decision in the Federal
Register.
AAA Sunshine Car Import (AAA), of
Ft. Myers, Florida (Registered Importer
01–289) has petitioned NHTSA to
decide whether nonconforming 2005–
2006 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet
passenger cars manufactured prior to
September 1, 2006 are eligible for
importation into the United States. The
vehicles which AAA believes are
substantially similar are 2005–2006
Porsche Carrera Cabriolet passenger cars
manufactured prior to September 1,
2006 that were manufactured for sale in
the United States and certified by their
manufacturer as conforming to all
applicable FMVSS.
The petitioner claims that it compared
non-U.S. certified 2005–2006 Porsche
Carrera Cabriolet passenger cars
manufactured prior to September 1,
2006 to their U.S.-certified counterparts,
and found the vehicles to be
substantially similar with respect to
compliance with most FMVSS.
AAA submitted information with its
petition intended to demonstrate that
non-U.S. certified 2005–2006 Porsche
Carrera Cabriolet passenger cars
manufactured prior to September 1,
2006, as originally manufactured,
conform to many FMVSS in the same
manner as their U.S. certified
counterparts, or are capable of being
readily altered to conform to those
standards.
Specifically, the petitioner claims that
non-U.S. certified 2005–2006 Porsche
Carrera Cabriolet passenger cars
manufactured prior to September 1,
2006 are identical to their U.S. certified
counterparts with respect to compliance

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a motor vehicle that was not
originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS shall be
refused admission into the United States unless NHTSA has decided that
the motor vehicle is substantially similar to a motor vehicle
originally manufactured for importation into and sale in the United
States, certified under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and of the same model year as
the model of the motor vehicle to be compared, and is capable of being
readily altered to conform to all applicable FMVSS.
Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either
manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to
49 CFR Part 592. As specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA publishes notice
in the Federal Register of each petition that it receives, and affords
interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition. At the
close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is
eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in
the Federal Register.
AAA Sunshine Car Import (AAA), of Ft. Myers, Florida (Registered
Importer 01-289) has petitioned NHTSA to decide whether nonconforming
2005-2006 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet passenger cars manufactured prior
to September 1, 2006 are eligible for importation into the United

2005-2006 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet passenger cars manufactured prior
to September 1, 2006 that were manufactured for sale in the United
States and certified by their manufacturer as conforming to all
applicable FMVSS.
The petitioner claims that it compared non-U.S. certified 2005-2006
