R REPORTED THAT TPWS LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE TIRE PRESSURE IN 1 TIRE WAS AT 15-20 PSI AND THE OTHER TIRES WERE AT OR NEAR THE RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE.DURING PE06-010, ADDITIONAL FAILURE DATA WAS IDENTIFIED AS NOTED IN THE FAILURE REPORT SUMMARY ABOVE.AS OF JULY 25, 2006, ODI WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY ALLEGATIONS WHERE THE ALLEGED DEFECT RESULTED IN A CRASH, AN INJURY, OR A FATALITY IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES.IN ADDITION, ODI IS AWARE OF ONLY TWO INCIDENTS WHERE A TIRE WAS REPORTED TO HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE DURING THE INCIDENT.IN BOTH INCIDENTS, FIRE DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE AND TIRE WELL AND/OR SMOKE DAMAGE TO ITEMS IN THE VEHICLE.ODI'S ANALYSIS SHOWED THE FOLLOWING:(1) THE SUBJECT VEHICLES USE AN INDIRECT TPWS SYSTEM WITH P225/60R17BRIDGESTONE B380 OR DUNLOP SP SPORT 4000 DSST RUN FLAT TIRES(RFTS). (2) THERE IS A LARGE VARIABILITY IN THE PRESSURE AND DRIVING TIME ATWHICH THE TPWS WILL TRIGGER THE TPWS WARNING LIGHT TOILLUMINATE.
