Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company discovered a labeling error on certain Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 tires, where the number of plies on the sidewall was marked incorrectly. Even though the tires were manufactured correctly and meet safety standards, they mislabeled the plies as "1" instead of "2." Goodyear filed a report and requested that this noncompliance be considered minor, arguing it poses no real safety risk. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received this petition and will consider comments from the public until February 3, 2021.

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.

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.

Tires affected include those for cars and light trucks, excluding certain specialty and off-road types, and these regulations will remain effective as announced in the Federal Register.
