1Subaru of America, Inc.; Grant of Application 

for Decision of Inconsequential Non-Compliance 

(65 FR 67472). 

1Public Law 91–508, as amended and codified at 

12 U.S.C. 1829b, 12 U.S.C. 1951–1959 and 31 U.S.C. 

5311–5332. Language expanding the scope of the 

Bank Secrecy Act to intelligence or counterintelligence activities to protect against 

international terrorism was added by section 358 of 

the Uniting and Strengthening America by 

Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept 

and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 

2001, Public Law No. 107–56. 

Hyundai has stated that they are not 

aware of any customer field reports of 

service seat belt assemblies being 

incorrectly installed in the subject 

applications, nor aware of any reports 

requesting installation instructions. 

These findings suggest that it is unlikely 

that seat belts have been improperly 

installed. 

In addition, although 49 CFR Part 

571.209 paragraph S4.1(k) requires 

certain instructions specified in SAE 

Recommended Practice J800c be 

included in seat belt replacement 

instructions, that requirement applies to 

seat belts intended to be installed in 

seating positions where seat belts do not 

already exist. The subject seat belt 

assemblies are only intended to be used 

for replacement of original equipment 

seat belts; therefore, the instructions do 

not apply to the subject seat belt 

assemblies.1

With respect to seat belt usage and 

inspection instructions, we note that 

this information is available in the 

Owner Handbooks that are included 

with each new vehicle as well as free of 

charge on the Hyundai Web sites and 

apply to the replacement seat belt 

assemblies installed in these vehicles. 

Thus, with respect to usage and 

maintenance instructions, it appears 

that Hyundai has met the intent of 

S4.1(l) of FMVSS No. 209 for the subject 

vehicles using alternate methods for 

notification. 

NHTSA has granted similar petitions 

for noncompliance with seat belt 

assembly installation and usage 

instruction standards. Refer to Ford 

Motor Company (73 FR 11462, March 3, 

2008); Mazda North America Operations 

(73 FR 11464, March 3, 2008); Ford 

Motor Company (73 FR 63051, October 

22, 2008); Subaru of America, Inc. (65 

FR 67471, November 9, 2000); 

Bombardier Motor Corporation of 

America, Inc. (65 FR 60238, October 10, 

2000); TRW, Inc. (58 FR 7171, February 

4, 1993); and Chrysler Corporation, (57 

FR 45865, October 5, 1992). In all of 

these cases, the petitioners 

demonstrated that the noncompliant 

seat belt assemblies were properly 

installed, and due to their respective 

replacement parts ordering systems, 

improper replacement seat belt 

assembly selection and installation 

would not be likely to occur. 

In consideration of the foregoing, 

NHTSA has decided that Hyundai has 

met its burden of persuasion that the 

seatbelt installation and usage 

instruction noncompliances described 

are inconsequential to motor vehicle 

safety. Accordingly, Hyundai’s 

application is granted, and it is 

exempted from providing the 

notification of noncompliance that is 

required by 49 U.S.C. 30118, and from 

remedying the noncompliance, as 

required by 49 U.S.C. 30120. All 

products manufactured or sold on and 

after May 9, 2008, must comply fully 

with the requirements of FMVSS No. 

209. 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120; 

delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.50 and 

501.8.
