    Transamerica Tire Co. Ltd. discovered that some Transeagle ST tires made by Shandong Yinbao Tyre were mislabeled with an extra character in their Tire Identification Number (TIN), making it noncompliant with safety standards. However, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) decided that this labeling error does not affect the tires' safety or performance. As a result, Transamerica doesn't need to notify owners or provide a remedy for this issue. NHTSA granted an exemption because the tires otherwise meet all performance requirements, and the error doesn't compromise safety during a recall.

    Simple Explanation

    Transamerica Tire found that some of their tires had a typing mistake on them, but the mistake doesn't make the tires unsafe. The car safety people said it's okay and that Transamerica doesn't have to fix or tell anyone about the mistake because the tires work just fine.

    Hercules Tire & Rubber Company found that some of their trailer tires had a misprint in the tire identification number (TIN), which showed the wrong manufacturing date. They asked the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to allow the misprinted TIN because they believe it doesn't pose a safety risk. NHTSA agreed, stating that consumers would likely recognize the error and not use the tires longer than they should. As a result, Hercules doesn't have to notify customers or offer a free fix for the error, though dealers still can't sell the tires knowing they have this issue.

    Simple Explanation

    Hercules Tire & Rubber Company made a mistake on some of their trailer tires by putting the wrong date on them. They asked for permission to leave it as is because it doesn't make the tires unsafe, and the safety group agreed.
