mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Honda has additionally informed
NHTSA that it has corrected the
noncompliance so that all future
vehicles will comply with FMVSS No.
138.
In summation, Honda believes that
the described noncompliance of its
vehicles 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.
I. NHTSA’s Analysis and Decision
Honda is petitioning NHTSA for
exemption on the basis that the
noncompliance is inconsequential to
safety because the accessory wheels and
tires have adequate load carrying
capacity at the lower tire pressure of the
17-inch OEM tires and because the
handling and stability of the vehicle is
not adversely affected at this lower
pressure as confirmed by Honda’s own
dynamic testing. Honda used similar
arguments that were accepted by
NHTSA in granting the Part 556
exemption for the TPMS noncompliance
involving certain 2008 and 2009 Honda
Civics (see 77 FR 43145 on July 23,
2012).
NHTSA agrees with Honda that the
accessory tires inflated to 230 kPa (33
psi) that is the lower pressure for the
OEM 17-inch tires will have adequate
load carrying capacity to accommodate
the maximum weight of the subject
vehicles. Similar to the agency’s
previous conclusion in responding to
the Honda Civic petition and as
required by FMVSS No. 110, the tire’s
load ratings must be equal to or exceed
the load applied when the vehicle is at
its maximum loaded weight. FMVSS
No. 110, section S4.2.1.1, states that,
‘‘The vehicle maximum load on the tire
shall not be greater than the applicable
maximum load rating as marked on the
sidewall of the tire.’’ According to
Honda, for a 2011 or 2012 Acura TSX,
each front tire would be required to
support a maximum load of 546.6
kilograms (1,207.2 lbs) to accommodate
the GAWR of the front axle. Likewise,
for each rear tire, a load rating of 514.9
kilograms (1,135 lbs) or more would be
needed to support the GAWR of the rear
axle.
Data from the Japan Automotive Tyre
Manufacturers’ Association, a reference
recognized in FMVSS No. 110, indicate
that for each P225/45ZR 18 95Y
accessory tire, the load rating is
calculated to be 575 kilograms
(1,268lbs) at the lower pressure of the
original tires, 230 kPa (33psi). This load
VerDate Sep<11>2014
21:42 Dec 29, 2014
Jkt 235001
rating is greater than the highest (front)
tire load on the affected vehicle based
on the GAWR. Furthermore, the
manufacturer of the optional tires would
have to meet FMVSS No. 139 which
specifies a low inflation pressure
performance test in which the tires are
loaded to the maximum tire load
carrying capacity while underinflated to
a pressure of only 140kPa (20 psi),
which is less than the TPMS telltale
activation pressure for the OEM tires of
the subject vehicles. Therefore, adequate
load carrying capacity remains for the
accessory tires on these vehicles.
Honda’s second argument is that the
handling and stability of the subject
vehicles are not adversely affected by
the accessory tires and wheels. While
NHTSA cannot confirm Honda’s inhouse results, we believe it is the
responsibility of each vehicle
manufacturer to maintain certification
to all applicable FMVSSs for all
optional equipment such as any wheels
and tires it authorizes. Honda provided
the 212 complete wheel sets to dealers
with replacement vehicle tire placards
as required by FMVSS No. 110,
specifying the correct tire size and
inflation pressure. It follows that Honda
believed a vehicle so equipped would
continue to comply with NHTSA’s
safety standards. For example, the
subject vehicles with the accessory
wheel sets should continue to comply
with the requirements of FMVSS No.
126, Electronic stability control systems.
In consideration of the foregoing,
NHTSA has decided that Honda has met
its burden of persuasion that the FMVSS
No. 138 noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
Accordingly, Honda’s petition is hereby
granted and Honda is exempted from
the obligation of providing notification
of, and a remedy for, that
noncompliance under 49 U.S.C. 30118
and 30120.
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, this
decision only apply to the subject 212
subject vehicles that Honda no longer
controlled at the time it determined that
the noncompliance existed. However,
the granting of this petition does not
relieve vehicle distributors and dealers
of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for
sale, or introduction or delivery for
introduction into interstate commerce of

the noncompliant vehicles under their
control after Honda notified them that
the subject noncompliance existed.
