Download as PDF 56708 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 178 / Thursday, September 13, 2012 / Notices mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Special Order.59 The repair remedy purports to address the noncompliances with the stopping distance and master cylinder reservoir requirements, which are the subject of the recalls. The remedy also purports to address the apparent noncompliances NHTSA identified with FMVSS No. 122, S5.1.2.2, Reservoir labeling, and FMVSS No. 122, S5.1.3.1, Failure indicator lamp, despite the fact that ZAP has never submitted a Part 573 Report acknowledging the MY 2008 ZAP Xebra is noncompliant with those provisions. However, ZAP’s procedures to address the reservoir labeling and the failure indicator lamp do not satisfy the requirements of FMVSS No. 122.60 Moreover, ZAP has failed to provide notifications to NHTSA and to owners, purchasers, and dealers of these noncompliances as required by 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 49 CFR Parts 573 and 577.61 Furthermore, ZAP proposes to remedy the vehicles by either sending each customer an installation kit or having the customer send the vehicle to ZAP, to have ZAP complete the installation of the remedy.62 Thus, an owner would either need to bring its vehicle to Santa Rosa, California (where ZAP is located), or install the remedy based on ZAP’s kit.63 The procedures for the repair remedy are over twenty pages long and require, among other things, placing the 59 ZAP, Response to Special Order, Sch. A–B (July 30, 2012). 60 The reservoir labeling is not worded as required by FMVSS No. 122, S5.1.2.2. See ZAP, Response to Special Order, Sch. B at 10. It also appears that the labeling may not be permanently affixed, as required. See KARCO, Response to Special Order, Ex. Test Report for ZAP Jonway, 2008 ZAP Xebra at A6 (test date: May 16, 2012–June 27, 2012) (showing peeling label). The failure indicator lamp also does not have the legend ‘‘Brake Failure,’’ as required by FMVSS No. 122, S1.3.1(d). See KARCO, Response to Special Order, Ex. KARCO 036–KARCO 037 (July 30, 2010) (photographs produced for ‘‘May 2012 Testing’’). According to KARCO, the lamp’s lettering also does not comply with the height requirements of the Standard. KARCO, Response to Special Order, Ex. Test Report for ZAP Jonway, 2008 ZAP Xebra at 3, 10 (test date: May 16, 2012–June 27, 2012). 61 The potential penalty for each violation of such requirements is $6,000. 49 U.S.C. 30165(a)(1); 49 CFR 578.6. 62 See Recall No. 12V–230, Part 573 Report § VI (prepared May 18, 2012); Recall No. 12V–363, Part 573 Report § VI (prepared July 18, 2012). 63 This conflicts with the notifications sent to owners, which told owners: ‘‘Please contact your ZAP/Voltage Vehicles dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service date so the dealer may order the necessary parts for the repair * * * Your ZAP/ Voltage Vehicles dealer is best equipped to obtain parts and provide service to ensure that your vehicle is corrected as promptly as possible.’’ ZAP, Response to Special Order, Sch. D–E (July 30, 2012). While there was no mention of a repair kit in the owner letters, ZAP indicated that it sent 56 kits out to customers. See ZAP, Response to Special Order, Interrogatory No. 7 (July 30, 2012). VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:13 Sep 12, 2012 Jkt 226001 vehicle on a car lift and removing all of its wheels, removing and replacing brake reservoirs, removing and replacing brake pressure sensors, replacing brake lines, replacing brake pads, installing a proportioning valve, and rewiring brake sensors and floats.64 Over three years has passed since ZAP initially recalled the MY 2008 ZAP Xebra. Although ZAP continues to elect a repair remedy, it has failed to successfully repair any vehicles. Moreover, contrary to its representation, under oath, in response to NHTSA’s Special Order, ZAP has provided no evidence that it has developed a repair remedy that would bring the recalled vehicles into full compliance with FMVSS No. 122. V. Decision to Conduct a Public Hearing NHTSA has decided that it is necessary to conduct a public hearing to decide whether ZAP has reasonably met the notification and remedy requirements under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120. See 49 U.S.C. 30118(e), 30120(e); 49 CFR 557.6(d), 557.7. NHTSA will conduct the public hearing in the Oklahoma City room of the U.S. Department of Transportation Conference Center, located on the first floor of the West Building at 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590. Any interested person may make written and/or oral presentations of information, views, and arguments on whether ZAP has reasonably met the notification and/or remedy requirements. There will be no crossexamination of witnesses. 49 CFR 557.7. NHTSA will consider the views of participants in deciding whether ZAP has reasonably met the notification and/ or remedy requirements under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120, and in developing the terms of an order (if any) requiring ZAP to take specified action as the remedy for the noncompliances and/or take other action. 49 U.S.C. 30118(e), 30120(e); 49 CFR 557.8.
