Government Rejects Tire Firm's 'No Big Deal' Safety Plea

## Summary

PT. Multistrada Arah Sarana (MASA) makes over 1.6 million Achilles, Corsa, Radar, and Milestar tires that don’t fully meet safety rules. MASA asked the government to ignore this problem, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said no. This means MASA must follow all safety fix and recall rules, which could affect tire owners and costs.

## Abstract

This notice announces the denial of MASA's petition.
