Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 18, 2007 / Notices
owner manuals contain the correct
information required for advanced
airbags, and that it has no record of
customers contacting the company with
inquiries, complaints, or comments with
regard to air bag warning labels.
NHTSA Decision
The following explains our rationale.
NHTSA agrees with Bentley that the
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety. The noncompliant
labels lack a statement that the vehicle
is equipped with advanced airbags.
However, both the passenger air bag
telltale lamp and the owner’s manual
indicate the presence of advanced
airbags.
The noncompliant sun visor label
contains all of the specific warnings
required on the compliant label: Death
or serious injury can occur; the back
seat is the safest place for children;
never put a rear-facing child seat in the
front; and always use seat belts and
child restraints. The noncompliant label
also warns occupants to sit as far back
as possible from the air bag. The
noncompliant label lacks the
recommendation to see the owner’s
manual for more information about air
bags. Because the noncompliant
permanent sun visor label contains
virtually the same information as
required by S4.5.1(b)(3), the absence of
this reference to the owner’s manual
and the lack of a reference to ‘‘advanced
air bags’’ do not constitute a
consequential safety issue.
The noncompliant removable dash
label contains similar information to
that required by S4.5.1(e)(3): Children
can be killed or seriously injured by the
air bag; the back seat is the safest place
for children; always use seat belts or
child restraints. However, the
noncompliant dash label does not
contain the statement, ‘‘Never put a
rear-facing child seat in the front’’, or
the recommendation to see the owner’s
manual for more information about air
bags. This label is a removable label that
most likely will not stay on the vehicle
once it is purchased. The statement,
‘‘Never put a rear-facing child seat in
the front’’ is present on the permanent
sun visor label and visible to the vehicle
user. As discussed above with regard to
the sun visor label, the lack of the
references to advanced air bags and the
owner’s manual are not consequential in
light of the presence of the critical
warning on the dash label. Therefore,
NHTSA agrees with Bentley’s
assessment that this noncompliance will
not result in any consequential safety
risk.
In consideration of the foregoing,
NHTSA has decided that Bentley has
met its burden of persuasion that the
labeling noncompliance described is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
Accordingly, Bentley’s petition is
granted and the petitioner is exempted
from the obligation of providing
notification of, and a remedy for, the
noncompliance.
