SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Consumer Complaints. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0008. 

Type of Request: Renewal of a current 

information collection. 

Abstract: Chapter 301 of title 49 of the 

United States Code, the Secretary of 

Transportation is authorized to require 

manufacturers of motor vehicles and 

items of motor vehicle equipment to 

conduct owner notification and remedy, 

i.e., a recall campaign, when it has been 

determined that a safety defect exists in 

the performance, construction, 

components, or materials in motor 

vehicles and motor vehicle equipment. 

To make this determination, the 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration (NHTSA) solicits 

information from vehicle owners which 

is used to identify and evaluate possible 

safety-related defects and provide the 

necessary evidence of the existence of 

such a defect. Under the Authority of 

chapter 301 of Title 49 of the United 

States Code, the Secretary of 

Transportation is authorized to require 

manufacturers of motor vehicle and 

motor vehicle equipment which do not 

comply with the applicable motor 

vehicle safety standards or contains a 

defect that relates to motor vehicle 

safety to notify each owner that their 

vehicle contains a safety defect or 

noncompliance. Also, the manufacturer 

of each such motor vehicle item of 

replacement equipment presented for 

remedy pursuant to such notification 

shall cause such defect or 

noncompliance to be remedied without 

charge. In the case of a motor vehicle 

presented for remedy pursuant to such 

notification, the manufacturer shall 

cause the vehicle remedied by 

whichever of the following means he 

elects: (1) By repairing such vehicle; (2) 

by replacing such motor vehicle without 

charge; or (3) by refunding the purchase 

price less depreciation. To ensure these 

objectives are being met, NHTSA audits 

recalls conducted by manufacturer. 

These audits are performed on a 

randomly selected number of vehicle 

owners for verification and validation 

purposes. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: It 

will take a large effort by ODI database 

support (Artemis) to determine the 

number of unique respondents due to 

some individuals submitting multiple 

complaints to NHTSA. 

Frequency: Daily. 

Number of Responses: 69,181. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 17,295 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: 

$242,134.00. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the 

Department’s performance; (b) the 

accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) 

ways for the Department to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information collection; and (d) ways 

that the burden could be minimized 

without reducing the quality of the
