ACTION: Denial of petition for a defect investigation. AGENCY: This notice sets forth the reasons for the denial of a petition submitted on June 7, 2023, by Kimberlyn Hearns (the petitioner) to NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation (ODI). The petition requests that the Agency initiate an investigation into alleged remote attacks to the vehicle electrical control system associated with a variety of reported electrical malfunctions that render the petitioner’s Model Year 2019 Toyota Yaris vehicle (subject vehicle) allegedly unusable. On August 30, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition DP23–004 to evaluate the petitioner’s request. After conducting a technical review of the petitioner’s submissions, seeing no other complaints for 2019 Toyota Yaris vehicles related to the types of ‘‘remote attacks’’ described by the petitioner, and reviewing information provided by Toyota in response to an Agency request for information regarding the 2019 Yaris CAN bus, NHTSA has concluded that there is insufficient evidence to pursue further investigation. Accordingly, the Agency has denied the petition. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Tariq Bond, Vehicle Defects Division— D, Office of Defects Investigation, NHTSA 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE, Washington, DC 20590. Telephone (202) 366–5472. Email: Tariq.Bond@dot.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Introduction Interested persons may petition NHTSA requesting that the Agency initiate an investigation to determine whether a motor vehicle or an item of replacement equipment does not comply with an applicable motor vehicle safety standard or contains a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety. 49 U.S.C. 30162; 49 CFR 552.1. Upon receipt of a properly filed petition, the Agency conducts a PO 00000 Frm 00118 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 technical review of the petition, material submitted with the petition, and any additional information. 49 U.S.C. 30162(c); 49 CFR 552.6. The technical review may consist solely of a review of information already in the possession of the Agency or it may include the collection of information from the motor vehicle manufacturer or other sources. After conducting the technical review and considering appropriate factors, which may include, but are not limited to, allocation of Agency resources, Agency priorities, and the likelihood of success in litigation that might arise from a determination of noncompliance or a defect related to motor vehicle safety, the Agency will grant or deny the petition. See 49 U.S.C. 30162(d); 49 CFR 552.8. Background Information In a letter dated June 7, 2023, Kimberlyn Hearns (the petitioner) submitted a petition attributing electrical malfunctions of his 2019 Toyota Yaris (subject vehicle) to remote attacks by unknown parties targeted on the subject vehicle’s Controller Area Network (CAN bus).1 The petitioner requested an Agency investigation of the susceptibility of the subject vehicle to the alleged attacks and for assistance securing a full refund of the vehicle price. Over four total submissions from the June 7, 2023 petition to August 2, 2023, the petitioner supported his request with a chronology of events detailing the vehicle fault, service history, and a listing of published cybersecurity articles. In addition, before filing the petition, the petitioner sent three pieces of related correspondence to the Agency from late December 2022 to February 2023. NHTSA has based its decision on a review of the material cited by the petitioner in his petition, information submitted by Toyota in response to the Agency’s request, and other pertinent information in NHTSA’s databases. Staff from NHTSA’s Vehicle Research and Test Center (VRTC) supported the review at all stages. Subject Vehicle History The subject vehicle is a Model Year (MY) 2019 Toyota Yaris LE equipped with a 1.5L I4 gasoline engine. According to a vehicle history report, the subject vehicle has only been owned by one person (the petitioner), started receiving service in August of 2019, and has not experienced any reported 1 Modern automobiles (including the subject vehicle) contain multitudes of microcontrollers that communicate over a self-contained computer network known as a Controller Area Network.
