ODI #10534363

Incident: July 9, 2013 · Filed: August 8, 2013

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A "TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM". I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW DUAL-WHEELED-AXLE (I.E., 4 WHEELS ON ONE AXLE) RECREATIONAL VEHICLE (RV) THAT WAS MANUFACTURED IN TWO STAGES BY TWO SEPARATE WELL KNOWN MANUFACTURERS. THE CHASSIS WAS MANUFACTURED BY MERCEDES-BENZ AS A MODEL SPRINTER 3500 HAVING A 11,030 LBS GVWR. THE SECOND MANUFACTURER WAS WINNEBAGO WHO MODIFIED THE CHASSIS TO EQUIP THE UNIT AS THEIR 2013 WINNEBAGO MODEL ERA 170A CLASS B RV. I PURCHASED THE NEW 2013 WINNEBAGO ERA 170A FROM A SELLER OF NEW WINNEBAGO RVS. THE CHASSIS MANUAL AND VEHICLE PLACARD STATES THAT IT IS DESIGNED FOR A GVWR OF 11,030 POUNDS. THE RV, AS OUTFITTED WITH THE FULL WEIGHT OF FLUIDS AND TWO PASSENGERS, HAS A CERTIFIED WEIGHT OF 9,280 POUNDS (3,760 LBS STEERABLE AXLE AND 5,520 LBS REAR AXLE). IF LOADED WITH ANOTHER 720 POUNDS OF CARGO, NOT LIKELY, THE RV WOULD MEET THE 10,000 POUND VALUE IN 49 CFR 571.138; TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS. IT WOULD REQUIRE LOADING THE RV WITH 1,750 POUNDS TO ATTAIN THE GVWR OF 11,030 POUNDS ? EVEN MORE UNLIKELY UNDER MY OWNERSHIP. MUST THIS VEHICLE BE SOLD WITH A ?TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM? TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH 49 CFR 571.138? I AM CONFUSED BY THE S2 EXCEPTION STATEMENT IN, 571.138 STANDARD NO. 138; TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS. S1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE. THIS STANDARD SPECIFIES PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS TO PREVENT SIGNIFICANT UNDER-INFLATION OF TIRES AND THE RESULTING SAFETY PROBLEMS. S2. APPLICATION. THIS STANDARD APPLIES TO PASSENGER CARS, MULTIPURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLES, TRUCKS, AND BUSES THAT HAVE A GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING OF 4,536 KILOGRAMS (10,000 POUNDS) OR LESS, EXCEPT THOSE VEHICLES WITH DUAL WHEELS ON AN AXLE, ACCORDING TO THE PHASE-IN SCHEDULE SPECIFIED IN S7 OF THIS STANDARD. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR ANSWER TO MY ABOVE QUESTION. *TR
