WASHINGTON (Jan. 19, 2016) — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has granted petitions by General Motors L.L.C. and Maserati North America Inc. for findings of inconsequential noncompliance for tire-related irregularities.
GM's petition involved mismarked spare tires on 51,704 Cadillac SRX multipurpose passenger vehicles, model years 2010-2014.
The rims on the spares were marked with a T to indicate that the source of the rims' published nominal dimensions was the Tire and Rim Association, rather than the correct E to indicate that the source was actually the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation, GM told NHTSA.
