[Docket No. NHTSA–2010–0064; Notice 1]
Bentley Motors Inc., Receipt of Petition
for Decision of Inconsequential
Noncompliance
Bentley Motors Inc. (BMI),1 has
determined that unknown number of
replacement seat belts that it imported
do not include the installation and
usage instructions required by
paragraphs S4.1(k) and S4.1(l) of
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) No. 209, Seat Belt Assemblies.
BMI filed an appropriate report
pursuant to 49 CFR Part 573, ‘‘Defect
and Noncompliance Responsibility and
Reports’’ on December 18, 2009.
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h) (see implementing rule at 49
CFR part 556), BMI has petitioned for an
exemption from the notification and
remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C.
Chapter 301 on the basis that this
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety.
This notice of receipt of BMI’s
petition is published under 49 U.S.C.
30118 and 30120 and does not represent
any agency decision or other exercise of

equipment.

judgment concerning the merits of the
petition.
BMI explained that approximately
300 nonconforming seat belt assemblies,
produced during the 12 months prior to
December 18, 2009, and an additional
unknown number produced prior to that
by its manufacturer, Bentley Motors,
Ltd, which is based in the United
Kingdom, were imported by BMI and
sold to its authorized dealers in the
United States for replacement purposes.
Paragraphs S4.1(k) and S4.1(l) of
FMVSS No. 209 requires:
(k) Installation instructions. A seat belt
assembly, other than a seat belt assembly
installed in a motor vehicle by an automobile
manufacturer, shall be accompanied by an
instruction sheet providing sufficient
information for installing the assembly in a
motor vehicle. The installation instructions
shall state whether the assembly is for
universal installation or for installation only
in specifically stated motor vehicles, and
shall include at least those items specified in
SAE Recommended Practice J800c, ‘‘Motor
Vehicle Seat Belt Installations,’’ November
1973. If the assembly is for use only in
specifically stated motor vehicles, the
assembly shall either be permanently and
legibly marked or labeled with the following
statement, or the instruction sheet shall
include the following statement:
This seat belt assembly is for use only in
[insert specific seating position(s), e.g., ‘‘front
right’’] in [insert specific vehicle make(s) and
model(s)].
(l) Usage and maintenance instructions. A
seat belt assembly or retractor shall be
accompanied by written instructions for the
proper use of the assembly, stressing
particularly the importance of wearing the
assembly snugly and properly located on the
body, and on the maintenance [o]f the
assembly and periodic inspection of all
components. The instructions shall show the
proper manner of threading webbing in the
hardware of seat belt assemblies in which the
webbing is not permanently fastened.
Instructions for a nonlocking retractor shall
include a caution that the webbing must be
fully extended from the retractor during use
of the seat belt assembly unless the retractor
is attached to the free end of webbing which
is not subjected to any tension during
restraint of an occupant by the assembly.
Instructions for Type 2a shoulder belt shall
include a warning that the shoulder belt is
not to be used without a lap belt.
BMI described the noncompliance as
the failure to provide both installation
and use instructions with the seat belt
assemblies as required in FMVSS No.
209 S4.1(k) and S4.1(l).
BMI noted that the noncompliant seat
belts can be identified by part number
for specific vehicle applications and are
labeled by model number, name of
manufacturer, and date of production in
accordance with paragraph S4.1(j) of
FMVSS No. 209.
BMI provided the basis of why they
believe this noncompliance is
