General Motors LLC, Receipt of Second Petition for Inconsequentiality and Notice of Consolidation
Document Number: 2017-19139
Type: Notice
Date: 2017-09-11
Agency: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Department of Transportation
On January 3, 2017, TK Holdings Inc. (Takata) filed a defect information report (DIR), in which it determined that a defect existed in certain passenger-side air bag inflators that it manufactured, including passenger inflators that it supplied to General Motors, LLC (GM) for use in certain GMT900 vehicles. GM has petitioned the Agency for a decision that, because of differences in inflator design and vehicle integration, the equipment defect determined to exist by Takata is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety in the GMT900 vehicles, and that GM should therefore be relieved of its notification and remedy obligations.
