and labeling requirements. Nonetheless,
BMW’s petition establishes that the
incorrectly marked windscreens on the
affected motorcycles conform to all
FMVSS No. 205 performance
requirements as evidenced in a test
report showing the windscreens meet all
the AS6 glazing performance
requirements required by FMVSS No.
205.
As the performance requirements are
met, NHTSA’s principal concern is
whether the noncompliant marking of
the windscreen creates a safety risk in
the event that consumers mistakenly
believe the glazing meets the impact,
abrasion, and dimensional stability
requirements of AS4 glazing or attempt
to replace the windscreen with AS4
glazing.
First, NHTSA considered whether the
mismarking would lead a consumer to
believe that the windscreen offers the
same level of performance provided by
AS4 glazing that is not provided by AS6
glazing material. Specifically, NHTSA
considered whether a rider would
believe that, as a result of the
mismarking, the windscreen provides
impact protection and meets
dimensional stability and abrasion
requirements. While this could be a
potential safety risk, the size and
placement of the subject windscreen
was factored into NHTSA’s analysis.
The windscreens come in two sizes, one
measuring 316 mm wide by 309 mm
high, and the other measuring 314 mm
wide by 216 mm high. The size, design,
and placement of the subject
windscreens appear such that a rider
would expect that they would offer little
to no impact protection. Further, the
size and placement of the windscreens
are such NHTSA does not believe that
the mismarking will create a safety risk
from riders believing that the
windscreen meets the abrasion and
dimensional stability requirements of
AS4 glazing. According to BMW, the
subject windscreens are intended to
protect the dashboard electronics,
deflect wind away from the rider, and
serve as an aesthetic design for the
motorcycle. Further, NHTSA believes
that few riders know the differences in
performance of AS4 and AS6 glazing.
NHTSA believes that due to the size,
design, placement of the subject
windscreens, and the likelihood that
riders would know the differences
between the performance of AS4 and
AS6 glazing, riders are unlikely to
believe that the windscreen offers a
higher level of performance than
actually offered by the noncompliant
windscreens.
Second, in the case that the
windscreens require replacement,

NHTSA believes that there is minimal
risk in a motorcyclist being misled by
the improper marking and concluding
that a replacement windscreen must be
of AS4 glazing rather than AS6 flexible
glazing. The Agency believes that this
risk is minimal because an AS4
replacement part would not be available
and obtaining such a part would require
that the new windscreen be custom
fabricated from rigid AS4 glazing. If
such fabrication were possible, it would
likely entail considerable inconvenience
and expense. Further, BMW or another
replacement part supplier would be able
to easily identify the correct AS6
replacement glazing through their
replacement parts identification
systems.
BMW’s petition also cited multiple
instances where NHTSA previously
determined that incorrect AS markings
on glazing were inconsequential for
safety. The Agency first notes that use
of previous determinations for
inconsequential noncompliance should
be viewed with caution as each
inconsequential noncompliance petition
is evaluated on the individual facts
presented and determinations are made
on a case-by-case basis. Further, of the
eleven cited petitions, only 2 pertained
to glazing that contained an incorrect
AS glazing type marking and are
potentially relevant to this petition. In
both the petition from General Motors,
LLC, (79 FR 23402, September 25, 2015)
and the petition from Mitsubishi Motors
North America, Inc. (80 FR 72482,
August 22, 2015), AS3 glazing was
marked as AS2 glazing. While the
petitions are similar to BMW’s, AS3
glazing and AS2 glazing have the same
impact protection requirements. The
analysis for this petition is different
because, as discussed above, AS4
glazing is required to meet two impact
tests that are not required for AS6
glazing.
Given that the windscreens in the
subject motorcycles meet all the
performance requirements as required
by FMVSS No. 205 and the improper
marking of the glazing presents no
recognizable safety risk, the Agency
finds that the subject glazing is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
VII. NHTSA’s Decision
In consideration of the foregoing,
NHTSA finds that BMW has met its
burden of persuasion that the subject
FMVSS No. 205 noncompliance in the
affected vehicles is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety. Accordingly,
BMW’s petition is hereby granted. BMW
is consequently exempted from the
obligation of providing notification of,
and a free remedy for, that
PO 00000
Frm 00238
Fmt 4703

2983
noncompliance under 49 U.S.C. 30118
and 30120.
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, this
decision only applies to the subject
vehicles that BMW no longer controlled
at the time it determined that the
noncompliance existed. However, the
granting of 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 BMW notified them that
the subject noncompliance existed.
