2011 Chevrolet Malibu—because of
these incidents did not have an
underlying cause or failure mode in
common with the other ruptures.162
NHTSA does not agree that these
incidents lack sufficient commonality to
be considered, as described in section
II.A. Additionally, as previously
explained, root cause is not necessary
for a defect determination. It is not
appropriate to eliminate any of the
ruptures in vehicles—the very incidents
where people have already been
harmed—from its evaluation of whether
there is an unreasonable risk.
Consumer safety ‘‘would be most ill
served by extending [a] delay based on
new predictions that the number of
injuries caused by the defect will
diminish.’’ Carburetors, 565 F.2d at 759.
The agency also does not believe that
logistical and cost-related concerns
raised by commenters about a recall of
the subject inflators warrants leaving the
unreasonable risk unaddressed by a
recall. NHTSA acknowledges the
potential ramifications of a recall of this
magnitude and does not take its
decision lightly. However, the crux of
this issue is not a variety of potential (or
even attenuated or largely hypothetical)
reverberations stemming from a recall—
it is that there is defect in the subject
inflators that presents an unreasonable
risk of death or injury in the event of a
crash, and that defect must be
addressed.
Every subject inflator that deploys is
at risk of rupture, and rupture events are
unpredictable and dangerous. Three of
the seven field ruptures in the United
States occurred between 2009 and 2017,
and three more field ruptures occurred
in the span of just over four months in
2021. The last field rupture occurred
very recently, in 2023. While it is
impossible to predict when the next
rupture will occur, each inflator that
deploys is at risk. NHTSA’s statistical
evaluation of the future rupture risk,
while not imperative to its decision
here, reinforces that field ruptures are
expected to occur in the future, and any
hopes premised simply on the relatively
low odds of an inflator rupturing are
insufficient to warrant inaction. Cf.
Carburetors, 565 F.2d at 759 (‘‘[T]he fact
that in past reported cases good luck
and swift reactions have prevented
many serious injuries does not mean
that luck will continue to work in favor
of passengers of burning cars. As a
matter of statistics their chances may
well . . . appear quite favorable. The
purpose of the Safety Act, however, is
not to protect individuals from the risks

Initial Decision at pp. 5–6.

associated with defective vehicles only
after serious injuries have already
occurred; it is to prevent serious injuries
stemming from established defects
before they occur.’’). With each subject
inflator that deploys, the vehicle
occupants are at risk of severe injury or
death from a rupture. That risk is
plainly unreasonable under the Safety
Act.
III. Conclusion
Every field rupture of the subject
inflators in the United States has
resulted in at least one vehicle occupant
being injured, several have resulted in
severe injury, and one has resulted in
death. Seven of the subject inflators
have already ruptured in vehicles the
United States. The facts and
circumstances surrounding these U.S.
field ruptures, the four foreign field
ruptures, and the twenty-three lot
acceptance test ruptures underscore the
severe impact of the defect on motor
vehicle safety. Based on its
comprehensive analysis, NHTSA has
concluded that the evidence shows that
the causes of these ruptures stem from
use of a friction welding process
without adequate inspection safeguards
in place and that all of the subject
inflators were produced using this same
process. As such, all of the subject
inflators have a risk of rupture and are
defective. The pattern and evidence of
these ruptures confirms that the
reactionary, limited-scope recalls are
insufficient to address the safety risk
and that a recall for the full subject
inflator population is necessary. Given
the severity of a rupture and the known
ruptures there is ample evidence of a
defect in the subject inflators. Common
sense demands acknowledging that
metal shrapnel projecting at high speeds
and causing injury or death presents an
unreasonable risk to safety, and the
Safety Act does not allow for such a risk
to remain unaddressed.
Pursuant to the Safety Act, NHTSA
may make a final decision ‘‘only after
giving the manufacturer[s] an
opportunity to present information,
views, and arguments showing that
there is no defect or noncompliance or
that the defect does not affect motor
vehicle safety. Any interested person
also shall be given an opportunity to
present information, views, and
arguments.’’ 49 U.S.C. 30118(b)(1).
Given the more extensive detail and
discussion of the technical issues in this
notice, and to ensure opportunity for
additional public feedback, NHTSA is
providing an additional 30-day
comment period. No additional public
meeting will be held.

If NHTSA makes a final decision that
the subject inflators contain a safety
defect, NHTSA will order ARC to
comply with the obligation to file notice
of the safety defect with the agency and
will order the vehicle manufacturers to
carry out recalls by providing notice and
a free remedy. See id. section

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR

Title: Customer Complaint Form.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0232.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Businesses or other

Description: The customer complaint
form was developed as a courtesy for
customers who contact the OCC’s
Consumer Assistance Group (CAG) and
wish to file a formal written complaint.
The form offers a template for
consumers to use to focus their issues
and identify the information necessary
to provide a complete picture of their
concerns. Use of the form is entirely
voluntary; however, use of the form
does help avoid the processing delays
associated with incomplete complaints
and allows CAG to process complaints
more efficiently.
CAG uses the information included in
a completed form to create a record of
the consumer’s contact, capture
information that can be used to resolve
the consumer’s issues, and create a
database of information that is
incorporated into the OCC’s supervisory
process.
Estimated Burden:
Estimated Frequency of Response: On
occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
10,000.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
10,000.
