552.6. After the technical review and
considering appropriate factors, which
may include, among other factors,
Agency priorities, and the likelihood of
success in litigation that might arise
from a determination of a
noncompliance or a defect related to
motor vehicle safety, the Agency will
grant or deny the petition. 49 U.S.C.

2.0 Petition
Mr. James Lamb (the petitioner),
Executive Director of the Small Business
in Transportation Coalition (SBTC),
submitted a petition to NHTSA on
September 27, 2021. The petition
requested NHTSA to initiate a defect
investigation into the potential hacking
susceptibility of the Society of
Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1939 Data
Bus standard.
In support of the petition, the
petitioner cited a 2016 study from
University of Michigan (Michigan)
researchers, entitled Truck Hacking: An
Experimental Analysis of the SAE J1939
Standard, which alleges a SAE J1939
Data Bus vulnerability in a Model Year
(MY) 2001 school bus and a MY 2006
Class-8 semi-tractor.1 The study alleges
that, due to the vulnerability, vehicle
critical safety functions such as the
accelerator control or braking systems
are susceptible to unauthorized access
and control, increasing motor vehicle
safety risks. The petition includes no
other specification with respect to
affected makes or models of vehicles
with the alleged safety defect.
3.0 Analysis
On December 23, 2021, ODI opened
Defect Petition Investigation DP21–005
to evaluate the petitioner’s request. In
evaluating the petition, ODI reviewed
the cited University of Michigan study
to understand and determine the scope
and feasibility of the alleged defect and
reviewed the NHTSA database for
similar complaints.
The petitioner did not specify the
make and model of the vehicles with the
alleged safety defect. The only
categories of relevant subject vehicles
specified were found in the Michigan
study: MY 2001 school buses and MY
2006 Class-8 semi-tractors.
After reviewing the available
information and using ODI’s risk-based
processes, ODI has not identified
evidence that would support opening a
defect investigation into the subject
vehicles. The vehicle vulnerabilities
reported in the Michigan study required
physical access to the J1939 connector
in order to affect vehicle critical safety
functions such as the accelerator control
or braking systems. Whether there is a
potential for remote compromise is a
factor that NHTSA has considered in
evaluating the likelihood or frequency
of a potential safety defect. The
Michigan study did not demonstrate a
remote compromise of these vehicles. In
addition, based on the age of the subject
model year school buses and semitractors, they do not have over-the-air
software update capabilities or an
internet connection to make remote
compromise possible.
ODI conducted a search for similar
complaints received by the Agency and
found no complaints of any type related
to this alleged vulnerability, aside from
the Petition. This evaluation included
searches of complaints from vehicle
owners, operators, and fleet supervisors.
ODI has not found any similar events,
complaints, or allegations suggesting a
real-life vulnerability based on the
available information. Therefore, given a
thorough analysis of the potential for
finding a safety-related defect in the
subject vehicles, and in view of
NHTSA’s enforcement priorities, a
defects investigation is unlikely to result
in a finding that a defect related to
motor vehicle safety exists.
4.0
Conclusion
NHTSA is authorized to issue an
order requiring notification and remedy
of a defect if the Agency’s investigation
shows a defect in the design,
construction, or performance of a motor
vehicle that presents an unreasonable
risk to safety. 49 U.S.C. 30102(a)(9),
30118. Given that the existing
information does not provide evidence
of a real-life vulnerability in the alleged
subject vehicles, caused by a vehiclebased defect, it is unlikely that an order
concerning the notification and remedy
of a safety-related defect would be
issued due to any investigation opened
upon grant of this petition. Therefore,
and upon full consideration of the
information presented in the petition
and the potential risks to safety, the
petition is denied. The denial of this
petition does not foreclose the Agency
from taking further action if warranted
or making a future finding that a safetyrelated defect exists based upon
additional information the Agency may
receive.
