Administration (NHTSA), telephone

Equipment Involved: Affected are
approximately 40,544 Type HB2
replaceable light sources that were
manufactured by Osram Sylvania
Products, Inc., between September 25,
2011, and October 8, 2011.
Summary of Osram’s Analysis and
Arguments: Osram explains that the
noncompliance is due to an error in the
production facility. Certain Type HB2
replaceable light sources were produced
with an incorrect upper beam filament
wire which results in an upper beam
luminous flux outside (below) the
specifications as required in paragraph
S7.7 of FMVSS No. 108.
Osram stated that although the subject
Type HB2 replaceable light source may
not meet the required luminous flux
specifications, the noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
Osram came to this conclusion based on
the following results of testing that it
conducted on a large sample of lamps
using the subject noncompliant Type
HB2 replaceable light sources:
(1) In half of the vehicle/lamp
applications, the upper beam
photometry specified for HB2 lamps
will continue to be met;
(2) In the remaining applications, the
photometry performance falls just below
the specified minimums for HB2 lamps
(and in no more than three, but typically
just one or two, test points on a permeasured headlamp basis); and
(3) All lamps using the noncompliant
bulbs perform at or above the upper
beam photometry requirements of other
lamp types, such as HB1 and HB5, that
are currently permitted by FMVSS 108
and in prevalent use on U.S. roads.
Osram also stated that the issue that
caused the subject noncompliance has
been corrected at the production facility
and all products currently being
shipped meet the applicable
requirements.
In summation, Osram believes that
the described noncompliance of its
Type HB2 replaceable light sources to
meet the requirements of FMVSS No.
108 is inconsequential to motor vehicle
safety, and that its petition, to exempt
from providing recall notification of
noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C.
30118 and remedying the recall

noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C.
30120 should be granted.
NHTSA Analysis and Decision:
Requirement Background
Section S7.7 of FMVSS No. 108
specifically states:
S7.7 Each replaceable light source shall
be designed to conform to the dimensions
and electrical specifications furnished with
respect to it pursuant to part 564 of this
chapter, and shall conform to the following
requirements: . . .
NHTSA has reviewed and accepts
Osram’s analyses that this
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety. While the
replaceable light source marginally fails
to comply with the luminous flux
requirements of Docket No. NHTSA–
1998–3397–0011, when it is placed into
a headlamp, it does meet the FMVSS
photometry requirements.
The subject replaceable light source
fell 4% below the lower limit for the
upper beam of HB2 bulbs, rendering it
noncompliant. According to Osram, this
was due to an incorrect filament wire
being used during production. When
this noncompliance was determined,
the entire inventory of suspect light
sources of Osram’s sole customer of
original equipment was returned to
Osram. Therefore, this petition only
applies to aftermarket products.
Headlamp performance is primarily
affected by luminous flux output and
filament geometry. Osram found that
while bulbs produced with the incorrect
filament wire did not meet the upper
beam luminous flux requirements, they
did comply with upper beam filament
geometry requirements. This allowed
headlamps using the subject replaceable
light sources to pass the upper beam
photometry requirements specified in
section UB3 of Table XVIII in FMVSS
No. 108. Furthermore, in a 2006
University of Michigan Transportation
Research Institute report,3 researchers
observed that upper beams were only
used for 3.1% of the distance driven at
night. This indicates that the potential
safety risk with slightly less intensity
lighting would be further diminished
because the noncompliance only applies
to upper beam performance.
As such, NHTSA agrees that due to a
combination of the following factors:
The subject replaceable light source
only fell 4% below the lower limit,
headlamps with the subject light
sources pass FMVSS 108 photometry
requirements, only aftermarket products
are affected, and only the upper beam is
3 ‘‘Real-World Use of High-Beam Headlamps’’.
Report No: UMTRI–2006–11, Mefford, Flannagan,
and Bogard, April 2006.
PO 00000
Frm 00095
Fmt 4703

affected; an occupant using the
noncompliant subject light source
would not be exposed to a significantly
greater risk than an occupant using a
similar compliant light source.
Therefore the noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
In consideration of the foregoing,
NHTSA has decided that Osram has met
its burden of persuasion that the FMVSS
No. 108 noncompliance in the Type
HB2 replaceable light sources identified
in Osram’s Noncompliance Information
Report is inconsequential to motor
vehicle safety. Accordingly, Osram’s
petition is granted and the Osram is
exempted from the obligation of
providing notification of, and a remedy
for, that noncompliance under 49 U.S.C.
30118 and 30120.
NHTSA notes that the statutory
provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to
file petitions for a determination of
inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to
exempt manufacturers only from the
duties found in sections 30118 and
30120, respectively, to notify owners,
purchasers, and dealers of a defect or
noncompliance and to remedy the
defect or noncompliance. Therefore, this
decision only applies to the subject
Type HB2 replaceable light sources that
Osram no longer controlled at the time
it determined that a noncompliance
existed.
