Rule Text: Section S5.5 of FMVSS No.
139 specifically states:
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration
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 that
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

Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations,
LLC, Grant of Petition for Decision of
Inconsequential Noncompliance
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Grant of petition.
AGENCY:
Bridgestone Americas Tire
Operations, LLC (Bridgestone),1 has
determined that certain Bridgestone
brand replacement tires manufactured
between June 19, 2011 and March 17,
2012, do not fully comply with
paragraph § 5.5(f) of Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.
139, New Pneumatic Radial Tires for
Light Vehicles. Bridgestone has filed an
appropriate report dated July 19, 2012,
pursuant to 49 CFR Part 573, Defect and
Noncompliance Responsibility and
Reports.
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h) and the rule implementing
those provisions at 49 CFR Part 556,
Bridgestone 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. Notice of receipt of
the petition was published, with a 30day public comment period, on
December 3, 2012 in the Federal
Register (77 FR 71679). No comments
were received. To view the petition and
all supporting documents log onto the
Federal Docket Management System
(FDMS) Web site at: https://
www.regulations.gov/. Then follow the
online search instructions to locate
docket number ‘‘NHTSA–2012–0108.’’
CONTACT INFORMATION: For further
information on this decision contact Mr.
Abraham Diaz, Office of Vehicle Safety
Compliance, the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
telephone (202) 366–5310, facsimile
(202) 366–7002.
Equipment Involved: Affected are
approximately 1,102 Firestone Firehawk
Wide Oval AS size
245/40R19 and 245/35R20 brand tires
manufactured between June 19, 2011,
and March 17, 2012. Only 97 of the
affected tires are no longer under the
control of the petitioner. Therefore, only
those 97 tires are the subject of this
petition.
SUMMARY:
1 Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC is a
manufacturer of replacement equipment and is
registered under the laws of the state of Delaware.
PO 00000
Frm 00145
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Summary of Bridgestone’s Analyses:
Bridgestone explains that the
noncompliance is that due to a mold
labeling error the sidewall marking on
the reference side of the tires incorrectly
describes the actual number of plies in
the tread area of the tires and therefore
does not comply with paragraph § 5.5(f)
of FMVSS No. 139. Specifically, the
tires in question were inadvertently
manufactured with ‘‘TREAD 1
POLYESTER 2 STEEL 1 NYLON.’’ The
labeling should have been ‘‘TREAD 1
POLYESTER 2 STEEL 2 NYLON.’’
Bridgestone stated its belief that the
subject noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety
because the subject tires meet or exceed
all performance requirements as
required in part by FMVSS No. 139 and
that the noncompliant labeling has no
impact on the operational performance
or safety of vehicles on which these tires
are mounted.
Bridgestone points out that NHTSA
has previously granted similar petitions
for non-compliances in sidewall
markings.
Bridgestone has also informed
NHTSA that it has corrected future
production and will re-label the 1,005
contained tires to reflect correct
construction.
In summation, Bridgestone believes
that the described noncompliance of the
subject tires is inconsequential to motor
vehicle safety, and that its petition, to
exempt 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.
