ATTACHMT: Attached to letter dated 11-15-91 from Paul Jackson Rice to Carl Miller (A38; Part 574)

TEXT:

This is a request for an interpretation of a regulation.

At DICO Tire, we manufacture high speed boat trailer tires. Presently we provide a warranty along with a recall information card to the original equipment manufacturers to be issued to the customer at the time of purchase. We also provide warranty and recall information cards to dealers for the replacement males market. It has been my understanding that we were to provide recall information cards on any tire with a D.O.T. stamp on it whether it was sold in the original equipment market or sold in the replacement market. A comment was made that there was a new ruling which stated the recall information cards were no longer required in the replacement market.

Could you please clarify this point?
