On November 28, 2008, NHTSA published a notice in the Federal Register which corrects FMVSS 139, New pneumatic radial tires for light vehicles, which specifies tire dimensions, test requirements, and labeling requirements and which defines tire load ratings for certain types of light vehicle tires. The corrections relate to a definition for snow tires and tire marking requirements, which were inadvertently removed. The notice also corrects FMVSS 208, Occupant Crash Protection, with respect to specifying a test tolerance for a procedure used to test air bag suppression systems and low risk deployment systems.
The changes covered in this notice will become effective December 29, 2008.
