  • 2025-03301 — Michelin North America, Inc., Receipt of Petition for Decision of Inconsequential Noncompliance
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 10985
    Reading Time:about 8 minutes

    Michelin North America, Inc. (MNA) has identified that certain Uniroyal Laredo tires do not fully comply with safety labeling standards because they lack a DOT symbol and full or partial tire identification number (TIN) on one sidewall. MNA filed a report about this issue on November 3, 2023, and requested an exemption, arguing that this noncompliance does not significantly impact motor vehicle safety. The affected tires were still manufactured to meet all performance standards and have correct markings on the opposite side. MNA has proposed solutions, including accepting all such tires in future recalls and improving testing and training procedures to ensure future compliance.

    Simple Explanation

    Michelin found that some Uniroyal tires are missing certain marks on one side, but they say this doesn't make the tires unsafe because the other side has all the right marks. They've promised to fix it for the future and offered to take these tires back if needed.

  • 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.
