67058
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 189 / Thursday, September 29, 2016 / Notices
that the 2.44 mm height is preserved
across the width of the word.
(b) In addition to the park brake
applied telltale required by FMVSS No.
135, all of the affected vehicles also
have a driver information center (DIC)
message ‘‘Park Brake Set’’ that
illuminates when the parking brake is
applied. The lettering height of this DIC
message is 3.24 mm, greater than the 3.2
mm minimum specified for visual
indicators in FMVSS No. 135. The DIC
message is also substantially wider than
the typical width of the telltale required
by the standard. The redundant telltale
and the DIC message, assure ample
communication to the driver that the
parking brake is applied.
(c) The operation and performance of
the park brake itself is unaffected by this
telltale condition. The park brake
complies with all applicable
requirements of FMVSS No. 135.
(d) The NHTSA has previously
granted inconsequential treatment for
labeling issues across various motor
vehicle safety standards, including for
discrepancies involving lettering height,
missing information, incorrect
information, and misplaced or obscured
information. For example, two
comparable petitions for
inconsequential treatment involving
brake telltale lettering height were
granted to Kia and Hyundai (reference
Docket numbers ‘‘NHTSA–2004–
17439’’, Notice 2 and ‘‘NHTSA–2004–
17439’’ (sic), Notice 2, published in the
Federal Register on July 8, 2004, and
July 9, 2004, respectively). The Kia
petition cited multiple previous
petitions for inconsequential treatment
for brake telltale noncompliance granted
by NHTSA, and we ask to incorporate
them here by reference.
(e) After searching VOQ, TREAD and
internal GM databases, GM is not aware
of any crashes, injuries, or customer
complaints associated with this
condition.
(f) GM has corrected this condition in
production. All vehicles produced after
June 13, 2016, comply with the telltale
lettering height specified in FMVSS No.
135.
GM concluded by expressing the
belief that the subject noncompliance is
inconsequential as it relates to motor
vehicle safety, and that its petition to be
exempted from providing notification of
the noncompliance, as required by 49
U.S.C. 30118, and a remedy for the
noncompliance, as required by 49
U.S.C. 30120, should be granted.
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
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, any
decision on this petition only applies to
the subject vehicles that GM no longer
controlled at the time it determined that
the noncompliance existed. However,
any decision on this petition does not
relieve vehicle distributors and dealers
of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for
sale, or introduction or delivery for
introduction into interstate commerce of
the noncompliant vehicles under their
control after GM notified them that the
subject noncompliance existed.
Authority: (49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120:
delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.95 and
501.8).

Director, Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance.
