  • 2020-29094 — Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Receipt of Petition for Decision of Inconsequential Noncompliance
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 181
    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    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.

    Simple Explanation

    Goodyear made a small mistake by printing the wrong number of layers on the side of some car tires, even though the tires themselves are perfectly safe. They asked the safety people at the government to say this mistake isn't a big deal, and now the government is thinking about what Goodyear said.
