This notice of receipt of GM’s petition is published in accordance with Enforcement Guidance Bulletin 2016–03 and does not represent any Agency decision or other exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the petition. sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES II. Class of Motor Vehicles Involved GM’s petition involves certain GMT900 vehicles that contain the covered passenger inflators (designated as inflator types ‘‘SPI YP’’ and ‘‘PSPI– L YD’’). GMT900 is a GM-specific vehicle platform that forms the structural foundation for a variety of GM trucks and sport utility vehicles, including: Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500, GMC Sierra 2500/3500, Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Avalanche, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade, Cadillac Escalade ESV, and Cadillac Escalade EXT. The next Takata DIR, which is due to be filed on December 31, 2016, is expected to include the following GMT900 vehicles: • In Zone A, model year 2012 GMT900 vehicles. Zone A comprises the following states and U.S. territories: Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), and the U.S. Virgin Islands. See Amendment at ¶ 7.a. • In Zone B, certain model year 2009 GMT900 vehicles. Zone B comprises the following states: Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. See Amendment at ¶ 7.b. • In Zone C, certain model year 2007 and 2008 GMT900 vehicles. Zone C comprises the following states: Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. See Amendment at ¶ 7.c. III. Summary of GM’s Petition GM’s petition states its belief that the requested modification to the DIR schedule will not pose an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety. In support of this contention, GM states that it has studied the long-term performance of the covered passenger inflators and has VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:13 Sep 19, 2016 Jkt 238001 conducted an analysis of the ballistic performance of the covered passenger inflators. Based upon this analysis, GM states that the covered passenger inflators are not currently at risk of rupture. According to the petition, GM’s position is based upon the following: An estimated 44,000 Takata passenger inflator deployments in GMT900 vehicles without a rupture; ballistic tests of 1055 covered passenger inflators without a rupture or sign of abnormal deployment; deployment of 12 inflators artificially exposed to additional humidity and temperature cycling without a rupture or sign of abnormal deployment; and analysis, through stress-strength interference, indicating that the propellant in older covered passenger inflators has not degraded to a sufficient degree to create rupture risk. GM further states that the covered passenger inflators are not used by any other original equipment manufacturer and have a number of unique design features that influence burn rates and internal ballistic dynamics, including greater vent-area-to-propellant-mass ratios, steel end caps, and thinner propellant wafers. In addition, GM states that the physical environment of the GMT900 vehicles better protects the covered passenger inflators from the temperature cycling that can cause rupture. More specifically, GM notes that the GMT900 vehicles have larger interior volumes than smaller passenger cars, and are equipped with solarabsorbing windshields and side glass. Finally, GM states that it has retained a third-party expert to conduct a longterm aging study that will estimate the service life expectancy of the covered passenger inflators in the GMT900 vehicles. GM anticipates that this study will be complete in August 2017. For these reasons, GM requests that NHTSA amend the DIR schedule pursuant to Paragraph 17 of the Amendment to delay the inclusion of the covered passenger inflators until the December 31, 2017 DIR filing.
