Polaris describes the subject noncompliance and contends that the noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety. Polaris explains that the subject noncompliance occurs due to an inadvertent software logic error. Specifically, Polaris says the subject noncompliance occurs because a ‘‘loss of wheel contact may result in a front and rear wheel speed differential that exceeds the calibration threshold within the ABS module software.’’ This causes the ABS module to provide a signal to the ECM, which then illuminates the brake lights, even when there is no brake application by the motorcycle user. Polaris believes that the subject noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety because the brake light is illuminated for 500 milliseconds and only occurs under certain conditions. Polaris says that the resulting brake light illumination is ‘‘analogous to a rider tapping the brake lever or pedal to cancel cruise control, thereby illuminating the lights, but not meaningfully engaging the brake system to decelerate.’’ Other than the subject noncompliance, Polaris states that the affected motorcycles comply with FMVSS No. 108 requirements. Furthermore, Polaris says it is not aware of any crashes or injuries related to the subject noncompliance. Polaris references three previous petitions NHTSA has granted ‘‘for lighting requirements where a technical noncompliance exists but does not create an adverse effect on safety.’’ • In a petition submitted by Daimler Trucks North America,1 Polaris points to the following NHTSA statement: ‘‘when a vehicle with air brakes experiences a low-air event and notifies that driver of a brake system malfunction, NHTSA believes that the driver would likely respond by pulling over to the side of the road and taking the vehicle out of service until the brake system can be repaired.’’ • Polaris cited a decision notice for a General Motor’s petition for inconsequential noncompliance 2 and stated that, ‘‘NHTSA noted that a number of factors led them to the conclusion that under the specific circumstances described in GM’s Petition would have a low probability of occurrence and would neither be long 1 Daimler Trucks North America, Grant of Petition for Decision of Inconsequential Noncompliance; 87 FR 14325 (March 24, 2022). 2 General Motors, LLC, Grant of Petition for Decision of Inconsequential Noncompliance; 83 FR 7847 (February 22, 2018). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:10 Jun 30, 2023 Jkt 259001 lasting nor likely to occur during a period when parking lamps are generally in use.’’ Polaris also points to a statement in this petition where NHTSA stated, ‘‘when the noncompliance does occur, other lamps remain functional. The combination of all of the factors, specific to this case, abate the risk to safety.’’ • In a petition submitted by General Motors Corporation,3 Polaris points to the following NHTSA statement, ‘‘[e]ven if a visible CHMSL illumination occurs upon hazard flasher activation, it would almost certainly have no adverse effect on safety. However, if a CHMSL illuminated due to this condition when the vehicle was on the road, a following driver would likely see a brief single flash of the CHMSL. As a practical matter, the following driver might not notice this flash at all. Even if he or she did, there would seem to be no likelihood of driver confusion or inappropriate responses.’’ Polaris also points to another statement in this petition where NHTSA stated, ‘‘[w]e can foresee no negative effects on motor vehicle safety if a vehicle’s CHMSL is briefly illuminated as described upon activation of the hazard warning lamps. The intended use of a hazard warning lamp and the momentary activation of the CHMSL do not provide a conflicting message. The illumination of the CHMSL is intended to signify that the vehicles brakes are being applied and that the vehicle might be decelerating. Hazard warning lamps are intended as a more general message to nearby drivers that extra attention should be given to the vehicle. A brief illumination of the CHMSL while activating the hazard warning lamps would not confuse the intended general message, nor would the brief illumination in the absence of the other brake lamps cause confusion that the brakes were unintentionally applied.’’ Polaris concludes by stating its belief that the subject noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety and 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 3 General Motors Corporation; Grant of Application for Decision of Inconsequential Noncompliance; 66 FR 32871 (June 18, 2001).

Therefore, any decision on this petition only applies to the subject motorcycles that Polaris 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 motorcycles under their control after Polaris notified them that the subject noncompliance existed.
