Jkt 235001
I. Honda’s Petition: Pursuant to 49
U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) and the
rule implementing those provisions at
49 CFR part 556, Honda submitted a
petition 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 Honda’s petition
was published, with a 30-day public
comment period, on July 22, 2013, in
the Federal Register (78 FR 43965.) 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–
0147.’’
II. Vehicles Involved: Affected are
approximately 212 model years 2011
and 2012 Acura TSX passenger cars
equipped with accessory 18-inch
diameter wheels sold at Honda
dealerships.
III. Noncompliance: Honda explains
that the noncompliance is that when the
accessory wheels and tires are installed
on the subject vehicles, the preset TPMS
warning level cannot be adjusted to
warn at a higher cold inflation pressure
for the accessory tires. The TPMS
system on these vehicles is set for the
OEM 17-inch diameter tires with
recommended 230 kPa (33 psi), not the
accessory 18-inch tires with
recommended 260 kPa (38 psi).
Honda set the TPMS warning level for
the OEM tires at 183 kPa (26.5 psi),
which is approximately 20 percent
below the recommended inflation
pressure. Standard 138 requires a
warning when the pressure is equal to
or less than 25 percent below the
recommended inflation pressure. For
the accessory tires, 25 percent below
260 kPa (38 psi) is 195 kPa (28.3 psi),
but the telltale does not illuminate until
the tire pressure reaches 183 kPa (26.5
psi). Therefore, the vehicles do not
comply with paragraph S4.2(a) of
FMVSS No. 138.
IV. Rule Text: Paragraph S4.2(a) of
FMVSS No. 138 requires in pertinent
part:
S4.2 TPMS detection requirements.
The tire pressure monitoring system
must:
(a) Illuminate a low tire pressure warning
telltale not more than 20 minutes after the
inflation pressure in one or more of the
vehicle’s tires, up to a total of four tires, is
equal to or less than either the pressure 25
percent below the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended cold inflation pressure, or the
pressure specified in the 3rd column of Table
1 of this standard for the corresponding type
of tire, whichever is higher;

V. Summary of Honda’s Analyses: A
total of approximately 848 wheels, or
212 complete wheel sets, were sold to
Acura dealerships by Honda between
November 2010 and April 2012. These
wheels were sold with a replacement
tire pressure placard, in accordance
with the requirements of FMVSS No.
110 ‘‘Tire Selection and Rims’’,
indicating an inflation pressure of 260
kPa (38 psi) for the recommended 225/
45ZR 18 tire size with an 95Y load
capacity rating. There have been no
reports of crashes, injuries or death as
a result of the accessory tire being used
with the standard TPMS threshold.
After the beginning of retail sales of
2012 model year Acura TSX models
Honda discovered that the
recommended electronic method of
updating the TPMS setting for these
accessory wheels would incorrectly
inform technicians that the adjustments
had been completed successfully. The
result is that the TPMS warning
threshold remains at Honda’s setting for
the OEM 17-inch diameter wheels of not
less than 183kPa (26.5psi) for the
standard recommended tire pressure of
230kPa (33psi). The minimum allowable
TPMS threshold for the 18-inch
diameter accessory wheels would be
195kPA (28 psi) (28.3psi using
conversion factor 1psi = 6.895kPa),
based on the recommended pressure of
260kPa (38psi) as indicated on the tire
pressure placard.
Honda believes that this
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety because even at the
lower TPMS threshold, adequate load
capacity remains for the tires on these
vehicles. Honda indicated that it also
conducted dynamic testing to confirm
that the handling and stability of the
vehicle is not adversely affected at the
lower pressures.
The maximum load capacity for each
of the P225/45ZR 18 95Y tires for this
vehicle is 575 kilograms (1,268lbs) at
230kPa (33psi), calculated using the
Japan Automotive Tyre Manufacturer’s
Association (JATMA) method, as
recognized by NHTSA in FMVSS No.
110. The maximum allowable load
according to the Gross Axle Weight
Ratings (GAWR) for a 2011 or 2012
Acura TSX is 546.6 kilograms (1,207.2
lbs) for each front tire and 514.9
kilograms (1,135 lbs) for each rear tire,
well within the load capacity specified
by JATMA.
At 80% of the lower pressure for the
OEM 17-inch tires (230kPa (33psi), as
opposed to the 260kPa (38psi)
recommended on the tire pressure
placard for the 18-inch accessory tires),
the low tire pressure indicator will
illuminate at 183kPa (26.5psi).

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Honda's Petition: Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h)
and the rule implementing those provisions at 49 CFR part 556, Honda
submitted a petition 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 Honda's petition was published, with a 30-day

on these vehicles is set for the OEM 17-inch diameter tires with
recommended 230 kPa (33 psi), not the accessory 18-inch tires with
recommended 260 kPa (38 psi).
Honda set the TPMS warning level for the OEM tires at 183 kPa (26.5
psi), which is approximately 20 percent below the recommended inflation
pressure. Standard 138 requires a warning when the pressure is equal to
or less than 25 percent below the recommended inflation pressure. For
the accessory tires, 25 percent below 260 kPa (38 psi) is 195 kPa (28.3
psi), but the telltale does not illuminate until the tire pressure
reaches 183 kPa (26.5 psi). Therefore, the vehicles do not comply with
paragraph S4.2(a) of FMVSS No. 138.
IV. Rule Text: Paragraph S4.2(a) of FMVSS No. 138 requires in
pertinent part:
S4.2 TPMS detection requirements. The tire pressure monitoring
system must:
(a) Illuminate a low tire pressure warning telltale not more
than 20 minutes after the inflation pressure in one or more of the
vehicle's tires, up to a total of four tires, is equal to or less
than either the pressure 25 percent below the vehicle manufacturer's
recommended cold inflation pressure, or the pressure specified in
the 3rd column of Table 1 of this standard for the corresponding
type of tire, whichever is higher;
V. Summary of Honda's Analyses: A total of approximately 848
wheels, or 212 complete wheel sets, were sold to Acura dealerships by
Honda between November 2010 and April 2012. These wheels were sold with
a replacement tire pressure placard, in accordance with the
requirements of FMVSS No. 110 ``Tire Selection and Rims'', indicating
an inflation pressure of 260 kPa (38 psi) for the recommended 225/45ZR

At 80% of the lower pressure for the OEM 17-inch tires (230kPa
(33psi), as opposed to the 260kPa (38psi) recommended on the tire
pressure placard for the 18-inch accessory tires), the low tire
pressure indicator will illuminate at 183kPa (26.5psi).
[[Page 78565]]
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

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

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
