potentially dangerous as sudden engine fire, and 

where there is no dispute that at least some such 

hazards, in this case fires, can definitely be 

expected to occur in the future’’).

Determination of Inconsequential Noncompliance, 

69 FR 19897, 19900 (Apr. 14, 2004); Cosco Inc.; 

Denial of Application for Decision of 

Inconsequential Noncompliance, 64 FR 29408, 

29409 (June 1, 1999). 

6Per FMVSS No. 108, stop lamps should only be 

activated upon activation of the service brakes, or 

a device intended to retard the movement of the 

vehicle. See FMVSS No. 108, Table I–a. 7https://isearch.nhtsa.gov/files/22036.ztv.html. 

NHTSA has rejected petitions based 

on the assertion that only a small 

percentage of vehicles or items of 

equipment are likely to actually exhibit 

a noncompliance. The percentage of 

potential occupants that could be 

adversely affected by a noncompliance 

does not determine the question of 

inconsequentiality. Rather, the issue to 

consider is the consequence to an 

occupant who is exposed to the 

consequence of that noncompliance.5

These considerations are also relevant 

when considering whether a defect is 

inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. 

NHTSA notes that DTNA misquoted 

the decision language pertaining to a 

prior inconsequential noncompliance 

petition (83 FR 7847) by adding ‘‘The 

Agency agrees with GM that in this 

case’’ prior to the original statement. 

NHTSA does not consider this addition 

accurate. 

The noncompliance, in the DTNA 

case currently being considered, is that 

the stop lamp illuminates when a 

braking system low air pressure warning 

indicator light is illuminated, regardless 

of whether the service brakes are 

applied.6 As the subject trucks have two 

air brake systems, which split the trailer 

brakes from the steer axle brakes, low 

air pressure will cause a brake 

application only if air pressure is lost in 

both systems. Should only one of the 

two air brake systems report low air 

pressure, the parking brakes would not 

engage but the stop lamps would 

illuminate in addition to the low air 

warning indicator light, which includes 

an audible alarm. The Agency believes 

that an alert would prompt the operator 

to safely pull over and/or attempt to 

slow/stop the truck soon after the 

warnings appear. In that case, the 

noncompliance would only result in a 

momentary illumination of the stop 

lamps without the brakes being applied. 

If the driver of a subject vehicle did 

not apply the brakes immediately after 

receiving a low air pressure warning, 

following drivers would be presented 

with a false indication that the subject 

truck was braking. Further, should there 

be an air leak, application of the service 

brakes will cause the air pressure to 

further drop, braking performance may 

be impacted, and it is also possible that 

the system will no longer be able to 

achieve proper pressure, which 

subsequently may cause the parking 

brakes to engage. As the function of a 

stop lamp is to notify other road users 

that a vehicle is stopping and/or 

slowing down, a vehicle equipped with 

an air braking system where the low air 

pressure warning on the instrument 

cluster along with an audible warning 

has been activated will likely prompt 

the driver to immediately pull over and/ 

or attempt to slow/stop the vehicle. 

A previous NHTSA interpretation 

concerning trailer stop lamp 

illumination, requested by Wabash 

National Corporation, explained that the 

stop lamps were permitted to be 

illuminated in the event that the 

emergency braking system was activated 

when significant deceleration could 

occur.7 NHTSA does not agree with 

DTNA’s argument that the activation of 

the stop lamps when the low air 

pressure warning occurs would be 

helpful for a warning other drivers of 

the brake malfunction. Nonetheless, 

NHTSA still believes this 

noncompliance would be 

inconsequential to safety. This is 

because when a vehicle with air brakes 

experiences a low-air event and notifies 

the 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. Because the act 

of pulling over to the side of the road 

would result in the intentional 

activation of the stop lamps and this 

sequence of events would likely occur 

only once before the vehicle is repaired, 

NHTSA believes that the activation of 

the brake lamps due to the low air 

pressure event would be 

inconsequential to safety. 

VII. NHTSA’s Decision 

In consideration of the foregoing, 

NHTSA finds that DTNA has met its 

burden of persuasion that the subject 

FMVSS No. 108 noncompliance in the 

affected trucks is inconsequential to 

motor vehicle safety. Accordingly, 

DTNA’s petition is hereby granted and 

DTNA is consequently exempted from 

the obligation of providing notification 

of, and a free remedy for, that 

noncompliance under 49 U.S.C. 30118 

and 30120. 

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 

30120, respectively, to notify owners, 

purchasers, and dealers of a defect or 

noncompliance and to remedy the 

defect or noncompliance. Therefore, this 

decision only applies to the subject 

trucks that DTNA no longer controlled 

at the time it determined that the 

noncompliance existed. However, the 

granting of this petition does not relieve 

truck distributors and dealers of the 

prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale, 

or introduction or delivery for 

introduction into interstate commerce of 

the noncompliant trucks under their 

control after DTNA notified them that 

the subject noncompliance existed.
