Double Coin and CMA have formally
notifi ed the National Highway Trans-
portation and Safety Administration
(NHTSA) of non-compliant sidewall
markings on certain Double Coin
branded TBR tires produced by Double
Coin Holdings, LLC.
After a full audit in June 2014, CMA
notifi ed NHTSA that certain Double Coin
tires omitted the Load Range symbol.
As confi rmed by NHTSA testing, this
non-compliance does not pose any safety
or performance issues. Furthermore, all
Double Coin tires meet FMVSS119 per-
formance and endurance requirements.
In addition, all Double Coin tires' sidewall
markings include redundant markings
that correspond to Load Range Capacities
including Load Index for both single and
dual placement, Ply Rating, and Maxi-
mum Load Rating with Corresponding
Infl ation Pressure (single and dual load).
"We have always been committed to
servicing our customers and manufac-
turing quality products," says Aaron C.
Murphy, vice president of CMA. "CMA is
working with NHTSA and has petitioned
NHTSA for an exemption from the recall
requirements of the National Highway
Traffi c Safety Act based on the fact that
the non-compliance is inconsequential as
it relates to motor vehicle safety."

Double Coin notifi es NHTSA of non-compliance
New manufacturer enters
heavy-duty market
A new wheel end seal manufacturer has
entered the heavy-duty market.
Brian Beathard and Matt Stovall
have partnered to create RevHD LLC; a
company that manufactures wheel end
products under the brand name Revolu-
tion. The two say they seek to revolu-
tionize the wheel-end parts industry by
changing the way people think about the
hub-installed seal.
Revolution's one-piece seals are the
only seals in the world designed to be
installed by hand, tool or hammer, the
company says.
The seal comes with a free tube of seal
lubricant, a special formula designed by
RevHD that allows for easier installation
and helps prevent future leaks.
