[Docket No. NHTSA–2005–20858; Notice 4]
DOT Chemical, Denial of Appeal of
Decision on Inconsequential
Noncompliance
DOT Chemical has appealed a
decision by the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
that denied its petition for a
determination that its noncompliance
with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) No. 116, ‘‘Motor
vehicle brake fluids,’’ is inconsequential
to motor vehicle safety. DOT Chemical
PO 00000
Frm 00093
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
65969
had applied to be exempted from the
notification and remedy requirements of
49 U.S.C. Chapter 301, ‘‘Motor Vehicle
Safety.’’
Notice of receipt of the original
petition was published on April 14,
2005, in the Federal Register (70 FR
19837). On July 18, 2005, NHTSA
published a notice in the Federal
Register denying DOT Chemical’s
petition (70 FR 41254), stating that the
petitioner had not met its burden of
persuasion that the noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
DOT Chemical appealed, and notice of
the appeal was published in the Federal
Register on September 2, 2005 (70 FR
52469). NHTSA received no public
comments.
Affected are a total of approximately
50,000 containers of DOT 4 brake fluid,
lot numbers KMF02 and KMF03,
manufactured in June 2004. FMVSS No.
116 requires that, when tested as
referenced in S5.1.7 ‘‘Fluidity and
appearance at low temperature,’’ S5.1.9
‘‘Water tolerance,’’ and S5.1.10
‘‘Compatibility,’’ the brake fluid shall
show no crystallization or
sedimentation. The subject brake fluid
shows crystallization and sedimentation
when tested as referenced in S5.1.7 at
¥40°F and ¥58°F, sedimentation when
tested as referenced in S5.1.9 at ¥40°F,
and crystallization when tested as
referenced in S5.1.10 at ¥40°F.
DOT Chemical believes that the
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety and that no
corrective action is warranted. DOT
Chemical stated that there are fiber-like
crystals in the fluid, which are borate
salts, and
are a natural part (no contamination) of DOT
4 brake fluid production (just fallen out of
solution in some packaged goods) and have
not demonstrated any flow restrictions even
at extended periods of low temperatures at
minus 40° F. Furthermore, when the fluid is
subjected to temperatures in a normal
braking system, the crystals go back into
solution in some cases not to reappear at all
at ambient temperatures.
NHTSA reviewed the petition and
determined that the noncompliance is
not inconsequential to motor vehicle
safety. In its denial, NHTSA noted that
it granted petitions for determinations of
inconsequential noncompliance of
FMVSS No. 116 to Dow Corning
Corporation (59 FR 52582, October 18,
1994) and to First Brands Corporation
(59 FR 62776, December 6, 1994). In the
case of Dow, the FMVSS No. 116
noncompliance arose from a ‘‘slush-like
crystallization’’ that dispersed ‘‘under
slight agitation or warming.’’ NHTSA
accepted Dow’s argument that its
‘‘slush-like crystallization’’ does not
