approximately 15 months. Unless the
mileage limit of warranty coverage has
been exceeded, that vehicle is still
eligible for warranty repair. ODI further
noted that 34 of the 36 consumer
complaints were submitted prior to
issuance of the manufacturer’s TSB.
Only two consumer complaints have
been submitted since the TSB was
issued, and the most recent was dated
July 2005. It is clear that consumer
complaints regarding the alleged defect
have exhibited a declining trend.
ODI concludes that no evidence has
been identified to suggest that headlamp
shake in the subject vehicles constitutes
significantly more than a nuisance, and
that no potential safety-related
implications of this condition have been
demonstrated.
In view of the foregoing, it is unlikely
that NHTSA would issue an order for
the notification and remedy of the
alleged defect as defined by the
petitioner at the conclusion of the
investigation requested in the petition.
Therefore, and in view of the need to
prioritize NHTSA’s limited resources to
best accomplish the agency’s safety
mission, the petition is denied.
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30162(d); delegations
of authority at CFR 1.50 and 501.8.

Associate Administrator for Enforcement.
