GM’s Petition Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) (see implementing rule at 49 CFR part 556), GM submitted a petition 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 GM’s petition is published under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency decision or other exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the petition. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00109 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 60019 defect or noncompliance. Therefore, these provisions only apply to the subject 23,910 2 2013 Chevrolet Malibu passenger cars that GM no longer controlled at the time it determined that the noncompliance existed. II. Vehicles Involved Affected are approximately 23,910 model year 2013 Chevrolet Malibu passenger cars manufactured between June 21, 2011 and July 24, 2012. III. Noncompliance GM explains that the noncompliance is that in the subject vehicles, because the primary shift lever position backlight in the console shift indicator can fail to illuminate, the transmission shift position selected in relation to the other gears is not always provided under the required conditions specified in S3.1.4.1 (a) and (b). IV. Rule Text Paragraph S3.1.4.1 (a) and (b) of FMVSS No. 102 specifically states: S3.1.4 Identification of shift positions and of shift position sequence. S3.1.4.1 Except as specified in S3.1.4.3, if the transmission shift position sequence includes a park position, identification of shift positions, including the positions in relation to each other and the position selected, shall be displayed in view of the driver whenever any of the following conditions exist: (a) The ignition is in a position where the transmission can be shifted; or (b) The transmission is not in park. V. Summary Of GM’s Analysis and Arguments GM stated its belief that the subject noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety for the following reasons: 1. There is minimal risk that the operator will shift the vehicle out of park without being aware that the transmission shift position sequence display is not illuminated since the condition can only be initiated at keyup (engine crank). The condition cannot be initiated while driving. 2. The condition corrects on the next ignition cycle. Throughout our investigation it never repeated on consecutive ignition cycles. 2 GM’s petition, which was filed under 49 CFR part 556, requests an agency decision to exempt GM as a motor vehicle manufacturer from the notification and recall responsibilities of 49 CFR part 573 for the affected 2013 Chevrolet Malibu passenger cars. However, a decision on this petition cannot relieve vehicle distributors and dealers of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale, introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of the noncompliant motor vehicles under their control after GM notified them that the subject noncompliance existed.
