NOTE THE TIRES WERE OVER 4 YEARS OLD WHEN PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALER. THE TIRES ARE WINTER TRACTION TIRES AND WERE MOUNTED ON THEIR OWN RIMS AND USED EACH YEAR DURING THE PERIOD NOVEMBER - MARCH. THE TIRES WERE STORED (MOUNTED) DURING THE PERIOD APRIL - OCTOBER AND WERE NOT USED DURING THAT PERIOD. ONE TIRE WAS DAMAGED AND REPLACED IN NOV 2005 BY A TIRE WITH DOT: CXHB 95K1304). THE LAST TIME THE TIRES WERE USED WAS THE PERIOD NOVEMBER 2008 - MARCH 2009. THE TIRES WERE USED EACH YEAR FOR ABOUT 5000 MILES. THE SUGGESTED MAXIMUM INFLATION PRESSURE FOR THESE TIRES IS 44 PSI; THE TIRES WERE USED WITH AN INFLATION PRESSURE OF 40 PSI. THIS REPORT CONCERNS THE REMAINING THREE DOT: CXHB 7EM219< TIRES (PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE). ON JULY 25, 2010, THE FOLLOWING WAS DISCOVERED WHILE THE TIRES WERE IN STORAGE: A. TIRE #1 TIRE HAD A MASSIVE TREAD SEPARATION ( TREAD SPLIT APART) WHICH COVERED OVER 1/3 OF THE CIRCUMFERENCE, PLUS ADDITIONAL PORTIONS OF THE TREAD WERE STARTING TO SEPARATE. B. TIRE #2 HAS VERY NOTICEABLE DELAMINATION OF THE TREAD, BUT NO TEARING. C. TIRE #3 HAS A FEW DETECTABLE INDICATIONS THAT TREAD SEPARATION IS IN VERY EARLY STAGES.

DP14002 · Engine Stall After Refueling

Opened Sep 5, 2014 · Closed Apr 6, 2015

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Fuel System, Gasoline:storage:tank Assembly

This defect petition evaluates July 7, 2014 allegations from an owner of a model year (MY) 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan minivan that engine stall occurs in these vehicles without warning after refueling.The petitioner's vehicle is a Chrysler RS platform minivan.The RS platform includes MY 2003 through 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan, Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country and Chrysler Voyager minivans.NHTSA evaluated the petition by analyzing consumer complaints submitted to the Agency, analyzing field data, reviewing technical information provided in Chrysler's response to an Agency information request and testing an RS minivan identified by its owner as experiencing post-refuel engine stalls.After completing this evaluation, NHTSA has concluded that further investigation is unlikely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists.The stalls occurring in these vehicles only occur immediately after filling up the fuel tank and happen at low engine speeds. The failure rate is low, even after 8 to 13 years of the vehicles being in service, and there are no reports of crashes or injuries resulting from the stall condition.In the Agency's view, additional investigation is unlikely to result in finding the existence of a safety-related defect in the subject vehicles.Given the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the Agency's safety mission, the petition is denied.This action does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency will take further action if warranted by future circumstances. More details concerning our review can be found in the Federal Register Notice for this action.The following 161 VOQs are included in the petition evaluation: 10209242, 10229468, 10240708, 10260923, 10275939, 10276532, 10296487, 10298175, 10328669, 10330144, 10346517, 10349789, 10354758, 10363689, 10372112, 10372368, 10372514, 10378031, 10379764, 10382938, 10387448, 10394063, 10398877, 10413918, 10418652, 10420924, 10427063, 10437525, 10445392, 10446902, 10470028, 10471249, 10473733, 10502231, 10503114, 10504260, 10509862, 10511988, 10512120, 10512385, 10512650, 10513147, 10538154, 10549841, 10551763, 10555188, 10555418, 10556754, 10565367, 10574012, 10574398, 10586555, 10587212, 10587559, 10593433, 10607841, 10607913, 10608922, 10615810, 10622468, 10628141, 10632112, 10632128, 10632172, 10632175, 10632231, 10632262, 10632266, 10632270, 10632305, 10632316, 10632326, 10632370, 10632385, 10632399, 10632492, 10632542, 10632765, 10632833, 10632928, 10633197, 10633281, 10633409, 10633421, 10633483, 10633507, 10637752, 10637804, 10637950, 10637975, 10638032, 10638289, 10638290, 10638401, 10638968, 10639218, 10639623, 10641157, 10641603, 10641614, 10641836, 10644339, 10644705, 10649713, 10649895, 10649932, 10650313, 10652590, 10653147, 10653783, 10654533, 10655226, 10658900, 10659679, 10660320, 10662588, 10662645, 10662662, 10663473, 10667056, 10667437, 10668081, 10668094, 10668131, 10668612, 10668969, 10668970, 10669584, 10669678, 10669729, 10669775, 10669866, 10669895, 10669992, 10670422, 10670506, 10676348, 10676732, 10677120, 10679795, 10679934, 10680057, 10680290, 10680342, 10680714, 10681512, 10682584, 10682906, 10683022, 10683114, 10683549, 10683620, 10683697, 10683743, 10689898, 10690761, 10691284, 10691556, 10691751, 10693061, 10694300
