FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Arija Flowers, Trial Attorney, Office of
the Chief Counsel, NCC–111, National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
1200 New Jersey Avenue SE.,
Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: 202–
366–8714).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In order to
ensure that all vehicles in the United
States are equipped with safe air bags as
quickly as possible and to reduce the
risk of serious injury or death due to an
inflator rupture, NHTSA is considering
exercising its authority under the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle
Safety Act of 1966, as amended and
recodified (the ‘‘Safety Act’’), 49 U.S.C.
30101, et seq., to organize and prioritize
the remedy programs of BMW of North
America, LLC (‘‘BMW’’), Chrysler
Group, LLC (‘‘Chrysler’’), Daimler
Trucks North America, LLC (‘‘DTNA’’),
Ford Motor Company (‘‘Ford’’), General
Motors, LLC (‘‘GM’’), American Honda
Motor Company (‘‘Honda’’), Mazda
North American Operations (‘‘Mazda’’),
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
(‘‘Mitsubishi’’), Nissan North America,
Inc. (‘‘Nissan’’), Subaru of America, Inc.
(‘‘Subaru’’), and Toyota Motor
Engineering and Manufacturing
(‘‘Toyota’’) (collectively, the
‘‘Manufacturers’’), and TK Holdings,
Inc. (‘‘Takata’’) to address Takata frontal
air bag inflators. Specifically, NHTSA is
issuing this notice pursuant to its
authority under the Safety Act to
‘‘accelerate’’ a remedy program, 49
U.S.C. 30120(c)(3) and 49 CFR 573.14,
as delegated by the Secretary of
Transportation, 49 CFR 1.95, 501.2(a)(1),
to inspect and investigate, 49 U.S.C.
30166(b)(1), and to ensure that defective
vehicles and equipment are recalled, 49
U.S.C. 30118–30119.
On May 18, 2015, Takata filed four
Defect Information Reports (‘‘DIR’s’’)
pursuant to 49 CFR 573.6. In those
DIR’s, Takata determined that a defect
exists in certain models of frontal air
bag inflators (PSDI, PSDI–4, PSDI–4K,
SPI, PSPI and PSPI–L).
The Safety Act requires manufacturers
to remedy safety-related defects in
motor vehicles. 49 U.S.C. 30120(a). If
the Secretary of Transportation
determines that a manufacturer’s
remedy program is not likely to be
capable of completion within a
reasonable time, the Secretary may
require the manufacturer to ‘‘accelerate’’
the remedy program if the Secretary
finds that there is a risk of serious injury
or death if the remedy program is not
accelerated and that acceleration of the
remedy program can be reasonably

achieved by expanding the sources of
replacement parts, expanding the
number of authorized repair facilities, or
both. Id. § 30120(c)(3). The Secretary
has delegated his authorities under the
Safety Act to the NHTSA Administrator,
49 CFR 1.95(a), 501.2(a)(1). Each of the
Manufacturers has elected a remedy
program of repair of the affected
vehicles. See 49 U.S.C. 30120(a)(1)(A).
These remedy programs are individual
to each of the Manufacturers, creating a
patch-work solution that NHTSA
believes may not adequately address the
safety risks presented by the defective
Takata inflators within a reasonable
time. Regardless of root cause, these
recalls involve the same safety risk: The
risk of the air bag inflator rupturing
when the air bag is inflated, which may
result in serious injury or death to
vehicle occupants without any prior
warning.
The number of impacted vehicles and
manufacturers in combination with the
supply issues related to these air bag
recalls adds a previously unprecedented
level of complexity to this recall and
remedy process. Given the number of
manufacturers (11) and the technical
complexity of the issues involved,
NHTSA intends to open a Section
30120(c)(3) proceeding, and has
therefore issued this Notice of Intent to
inform the public.
The goal of a Section 30120(c)(3)
proceeding is for the agency to consider
whether (and if so, how) to organize and
prioritize the recall and remedy
programs of the Manufacturers, in order
to aid the Manufacturers in
accomplishing their significant task of
replacing all defective Takata air bag
inflators.
As part of a Section 30120(c)(3)
proceeding, NHTSA plans to consider
the views of commenters regarding
NHTSA’s exercising its authority with
respect to recall and remedy programs
involving certain defective Takata
frontal air bag inflators, including, but
not limited whether it should, and on
what terms, issue an order to
‘‘accelerate’’ all applicable recall
remedy programs, which could include,
but not be limited to, provisions
regarding sourcing, production,
allocation, delivery, installation, and
adequacy of the remedy.
Further, as part of a Section
30120(c)(3) proceeding, NHTSA would
specifically request comments on how
the Manufacturers would comply with
an organization and prioritization of
remedy directive, the possible terms of
any such order and, in particular, how
NHTSA should order the sourcing of the
replacement parts for Manufacturers,
whether NHTSA should issue the
PO 00000
Frm 00191
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
remedy order to some but not all
Manufacturers, whether NHTSA should
order the Manufacturers to prioritize
certain vehicles or certain regions in its
allocation of replacement parts and
how, and whether NHTSA should order
a re-replacement schedule for
replacement frontal inflators if Takata
cannot provide assurances for the
ongoing safety of the inflators.
Upon NHTSA’s opening of a Section
30120(c)(3) proceeding, additional
information, including how to
comment, will be published in a
supplemental Federal Register Notice.
