SEOCONTENT-START

1
NONCOMPLIANCE INFORMATION REPORT On July 23, 2022, P.T. Elangperdana Tyre Industry (”EP”) has received a letter dated June 22, 2022 from National Highway Traffic Administration (“NHTSA”) stating that the Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance (“OVSC”) tested the Zeetex AT 1000 tire, size LT245/75R17 manufactured by EP (the “Subject Tire”) for compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (“FMVSS”) specifically as set forth in 49 C.F.R. Sec. 571.139, New pneumatic radial tires for light vehicles. The testing was performed in June at Smithers in Ravenne, Ohio. A sidewall separation near the bead area was identified during the post-test visual inspection. The letter further states this constitutes a possible non- compliance with FMVSS No. 139 Section S6.3.2(a). EP is submitting this report pursuant to provisions of 49 CFR 573. EP conducts, as a part of its routine quality assurance program, following the initial product testing at design and product launch testing, periodic indoor internal surveillance tests of finished products. Throughout these tests, all of its products must fully satisfy standards set forth in 49 CFR §571.139 of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (“FMVSS”) as well as internally established performance criteria which are on purpose set higher than those of FMVSS. EP regards failure to fully satisfy both FMVSS and internally established performance criteria as a defect. The result of this defect could be premature ending of tire service life under extreme conditions of use or abuse of tires. To this date, however, no returns, complaints, or claims have been presented suggesting or relating to this defect. The information required by the applicable regulations follow: 1. Manufacturer’s Information. The full corporate name of the fabrication manufacturer/brand name/trademark owner of the tires at issue in this report.
