OMB 2127-0626

Improperly inflated tires pose a safety risk, increasing the chance of skidding, hydroplaning, longer stopping distances, and crashes due to flat tires and blowouts. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 138 mandated Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS), which warn drivers when air pressure falls in one or more of the vehicle's tires. Data from the 2011 TPMS-SS survey show that while 2004-2007 model year vehicles with TPMS had an estimated 55.6 percent overall reduction in the likelihood that the vehicle would have one or more severely under inflated tires, this effectiveness decreased as the age of the vehicle increased. In order to examine the reasons for this decreased effectiveness, additional data is needed. The drivers of vehicles with TPMS, suppliers of TPMS parts and systems, and professional establishments that repair TPMS will be surveyed to answer key questions concerning the operational status of TPMS systems, consumers' attendant knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of TPMS systems, and the causes and costs of TPMS system malfunctions.

The latest form for Tire Pressure Monitoring System-Outage Rates and Repair Costs (TPMS-ORRC) expires 2021-02-28 and is listed under ICR 201706-2127-001.
