The Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicle line
was granted an exemption from the
parts-marking requirements beginning
with MY 2004. Chrysler further stated
that NHTSA’s theft data for the Jeep
Grand Cherokee indicates that the
inclusion of a standard immobilizer
system resulted in a 52 percent net
average reduction in vehicle thefts.
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 33106 and 49
CFR part 543.7(b), the agency grants a
petition for exemption from the partsmarking requirements of part 541, either
in whole or in part, if it determines that,
based upon substantial evidence, the
standard equipment antitheft device is
likely to be as effective in reducing and
deterring motor vehicle theft as
compliance with the parts-marking
requirements of part 541. The agency
finds that Chrysler has provided
adequate reasons for its belief that the
antitheft device for the vehicle line is
likely to be as effective in reducing and
deterring motor vehicle theft as
compliance with the parts-marking
requirements of the Theft Prevention
Standard (49 CFR part 541). This
conclusion is based on the information
Chrysler provided about its device.
The agency concludes that the device
will provide four of the five types of
performance listed in 49 CFR Part
543.6(a)(3): promoting activation;
preventing defeat or circumvention of
the device by unauthorized persons;
preventing operation of the vehicle by
unauthorized entrants; and ensuring the
reliability and durability of the device.
For the foregoing reasons, the agency
hereby grants in full Chrysler’s petition
for exemption for the vehicle line from
the parts-marking requirements of 49
CFR part 541, beginning with the 2013
model year vehicles. The agency notes
that 49 CFR part 541, Appendix A–1,
identifies those lines that are exempted
from the Theft Prevention Standard for
a given model year. 49 CFR part 543.7(f)
contains publication requirements
incident to the disposition of all part

543 petitions. Advanced listing,
including the release of future product
nameplates, the beginning model year
for which the petition is granted and a
general description of the antitheft
device is necessary in order to notify
law enforcement agencies of new
vehicle lines exempted from the parts
marking requirements of the Theft
Prevention Standard.
If Chrysler decides not to use the
exemption for this vehicle line, it must
formally notify the agency. If such a
decision is made, the vehicle line must
be fully marked as required by 49 CFR
parts 541.5 and 541.6 (marking of major
component parts and replacement
parts).
NHTSA notes that if Chrysler wishes
in the future to modify the device on
which this exemption is based, the
company may have to submit a petition
to modify the exemption. 49 CFR part
543.7(d) states that a part 543 exemption
applies only to vehicles that belong to
a line exempted under this part and
equipped with the anti-theft device on
which the line’s exemption is based.
Further, 49 CFR part 543.9(c)(2)
provides for the submission of petitions
‘‘to modify an exemption to permit the
use of an antitheft device similar to but
differing from the one specified in that
exemption.’’
The agency wishes to minimize the
administrative burden that 49 CFR part
543.9(c)(2) could place on exempted
vehicle manufacturers and itself. The
agency did not intend in drafting Part
543 to require the submission of a
modification petition for every change
to the components or design of an
antitheft device. The significance of
many such changes could be de
minimis. Therefore, NHTSA suggests
that if the manufacturer contemplates
making any changes, the effects of
which might be characterized as de
minimis, it should consult the agency
before preparing and submitting a
petition to modify.
