Overview Automobili Lamborghini has determined that certain MY 2015–2020 Lamborghini Huracan motor vehicles do not fully comply with the requirements of paragraph S10.18.9.2 of FMVSS No. 108, Lamps, Relective Devices, and Assoicated Equipment (49 CFR 571.108). Automobili Lamborghini filed a noncompliance report dated March 4, 2020, pursuant to 49 CFR part 573, Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility and Reports, and subsequently petitioned NHTSA on March 25, 2020, for an exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that this noncompliance is PO 00000 Frm 00161 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 42979 inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) and 49 CFR part 556, Exemption for Inconsequential Defect or Noncompliance. This notice of receipt of Automobili Lamborghini’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. II. Vehicles Involved Approximately 4,727 MY 2015–2020 Automobili Lamborghini Huracan motor vehicles manufactured between July 30, 2014, and February 26, 2020, are potentially involved. III. Noncompliance Automobili Lamborghini explains that the noncompliance is that the subject vehicles are equipped with headlamp assemblies that do not fully meet the requirements in paragraph S10.18.9.2 of FMVSS No. 108. Specifically, the horizontal aim of the lower beam can be adjusted due to the absence of a blanking cap over the beam’s horizontal adjustment screw. IV. Rule Requirements Paragraph S10.18.9.2 of FMVSS No. 108 includes the requirements relevant to this petition. The standard requires that the headlamp not be adjustable in terms of horizontal aim unless the headlamp is equipped with a horizontal vehicle headlamp aiming device (VHAD). If the headlamp has a VHAD, it is set to zero. V. Summary of Automobili Lamborghini’s Petition The following views and arguments presented in this section, V. Summary of Automobili Lamborghini’s Petition, are the views and arguments provided by Automobili Lamborghini. They have not been evaluated by the Agency and do not reflect the views of the Agency. Automobili Lamborghini described the subject noncompliance and stated their belief that the noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety. Automobili Lamborghini stated that the horizontal aim adjustment of the subject beams is possible, due to the absence of a blanking cap over the beam horizontal adjustment screw. Demounting the luggage compartment liner, customers, with advanced technical knowledge, can reach the horizontal adjustment screw and make the horizontal adjustment by themselves; however, Automobili Lamborghini argues that this noncompliance is inconsequential to E:\FR\FM\15JYN1.SGM 15JYN1 khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 42980 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 136 / Wednesday, July 15, 2020 / Notices motor vehicle safety for the following reasons: 1. First, the adjustment screw is hidden by the luggage liner when the vehicle’s hood is open, so the screw is not visible. 2. Second, the Owner’s Manual does not identify this screw, so no vehicle owner would ever need to try to search for and adjust the screw in question. 3. The only possibility to reach the adjustment screw without removing the luggage liner is through a small hole in the luggage liner using a long screwdriver, but without any possibility to see it and without any indication of how to do it. 4. Automobili Lamborghini is unaware of any accidents, injuries, or customer complaints related to the horizontal aim adjustment of the subject beams. 5. The issue was corrected in production during calendar week 15 (fifteen) of 2020. Automobili Lamborghini 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 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 Automobili Lamborghini 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 Automobili Lamborghini notified them that the subject noncompliance existed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Overview

    Automobili Lamborghini has determined that certain MY 2015-2020 
Lamborghini Huracan motor vehicles do not fully comply with the 
requirements of paragraph S10.18.9.2 of FMVSS No. 108, Lamps, Relective 
Devices, and Assoicated Equipment (49 CFR 571.108). Automobili 
Lamborghini filed a noncompliance report dated March 4, 2020, pursuant 
to 49 CFR part 573, Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility and 
Reports, and subsequently petitioned NHTSA on March 25, 2020, for an 
exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. 
Chapter 301 on the basis that this noncompliance is inconsequential as 
it relates to motor vehicle safety, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 
30120(h) and 49 CFR part 556, Exemption for Inconsequential Defect or 
Noncompliance.
    This notice of receipt of Automobili Lamborghini'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.

II. Vehicles Involved

    Approximately 4,727 MY 2015-2020 Automobili Lamborghini Huracan 
motor vehicles manufactured between July 30, 2014, and February 26, 
2020, are potentially involved.

III. Noncompliance

    Automobili Lamborghini explains that the noncompliance is that the 
subject vehicles are equipped with headlamp assemblies that do not 
fully meet the requirements in paragraph S10.18.9.2 of FMVSS No. 108. 
Specifically, the horizontal aim of the lower beam can be adjusted due 
to the absence of a blanking cap over the beam's horizontal adjustment 
screw.

IV. Rule Requirements

    Paragraph S10.18.9.2 of FMVSS No. 108 includes the requirements 
relevant to this petition. The standard requires that the headlamp not 
be adjustable in terms of horizontal aim unless the headlamp is 
equipped with a horizontal vehicle headlamp aiming device (VHAD). If 
the headlamp has a VHAD, it is set to zero.

V. Summary of Automobili Lamborghini's Petition

    The following views and arguments presented in this section, V. 
Summary of Automobili Lamborghini's Petition, are the views and 
arguments provided by Automobili Lamborghini. They have not been 
evaluated by the Agency and do not reflect the views of the Agency. 
Automobili Lamborghini described the subject noncompliance and stated 
their belief that the noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to 
motor vehicle safety.
    Automobili Lamborghini stated that the horizontal aim adjustment of 
the subject beams is possible, due to the absence of a blanking cap 
over the beam horizontal adjustment screw. Demounting the luggage 
compartment liner, customers, with advanced technical knowledge, can 
reach the horizontal adjustment screw and make the horizontal 
adjustment by themselves; however, Automobili Lamborghini argues that 
this noncompliance is inconsequential to

motor vehicle safety for the following reasons:
    1. First, the adjustment screw is hidden by the luggage liner when 
the vehicle's hood is open, so the screw is not visible.
    2. Second, the Owner's Manual does not identify this screw, so no 
vehicle owner would ever need to try to search for and adjust the screw 
in question.
    3. The only possibility to reach the adjustment screw without 
removing the luggage liner is through a small hole in the luggage liner 
using a long screwdriver, but without any possibility to see it and 
without any indication of how to do it.
    4. Automobili Lamborghini is unaware of any accidents, injuries, or 
customer complaints related to the horizontal aim adjustment of the 
subject beams.
    5. The issue was corrected in production during calendar week 15 
(fifteen) of 2020.
    Automobili Lamborghini 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 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 Automobili 
Lamborghini 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 Automobili Lamborghini notified them that the subject 
noncompliance existed.
