DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. NHTSA–2019–0131; Notice 2] 

FCA US LLC, Grant of Petition for 

Decision of Inconsequential 

Noncompliance 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Grant of petition. 

SUMMARY: FCA US LLC (f/k/a Chrysler 

Group LLC) ‘‘FCA’’ has determined that 

certain model year (MY) 2004–2020 

Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Fiat, and Alfa 

Romeo motor vehicles do not comply 

with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety 

Standard (FMVSS) No. 101, Controls 

and Displays. FCA filed a 

noncompliance report dated November 

15, 2019, and later amended it on 

December 9, 2019. FCA subsequently 

petitioned NHTSA on December 9, 

2019, for a decision that the subject 

noncompliance is inconsequential as it 

relates to motor vehicle safety. This 

document announces the grant of FCA’s 

petition. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Neil 

Dold, Office of Vehicle Safety 

Compliance, the National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

telephone (202) 366–7352, facsimile 

(202) 366–3081. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Overview 

FCA has determined that certain MY 

2004–2020 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Fiat, 

and Alfa Romeo motor vehicles do not 

comply with paragraph S5.2.1 of 

FMVSS No. 101, Controls and Displays 

(49 CFR 571.101). FCA filed a 

noncompliance report dated November 

15, 2019, and later amended it on 

December 9, 2019, pursuant to 49 CFR 

573, Defect and Noncompliance 

Responsibility and Reports. FCA also 

petitioned NHTSA on December 9, 

2019, for an exemption from the 

notification and remedy requirements of 

49 U.S.C. chapter 301 on the basis that 

this noncompliance is inconsequential 

as it relates to motor vehicle safety, 

pursuant to 40 U.S.C. 30118 and 49 

U.S.C. 30120, Exemption for 

Inconsequential Defect or 

Noncompliance. 

Notice of receipt of FCA’s petition 

was published with a 30-day public 

comment period, on July 13, 2020, in 

the Federal Register (85 FR 42066). One 

comment was received. To view the 

petition and all supporting documents 

log onto the Federal Docket 

Management System (FDMS) website at 

https://www.regulations.gov/. Then 

follow the online search instructions to 

locate docket number ‘‘NHTSA–2019– 

0131.’’ 

II. Vehicles Involved 

Approximately 2,507,693 MY 2004– 

2020 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Fiat, and 

Alfa Romeo motor vehicles, 

manufactured between November 25, 

2002, and November 9, 2019, are 

potentially involved. 

III. Noncompliance 

FCA explains that the noncompliance 

is that the subject vehicles are equipped 

with speedometers that allow the driver 

to configure the speedometer to display 

the vehicle’s speed in kilometers-perhour (km/h) only and therefore do not 

meet the requirements set forth in 

paragraph S5.2.1 and Table 1, Column 

3 of FMVSS No. 101. 

IV. Rule Requirements 

Paragraph S5.2.1 and Table 1, Column 

3 of FMVSS No. 101 provide that each 

passenger car, multipurpose passenger 

vehicle, truck and bus that is fitted with 

a control, a telltale, or an indicator 

listed in Table 1 or Table 2 must meet 

the requirements of FMVSS No. 101 for 

the location, identification, color, and 

illumination of that control, telltale or 

indicator. Each control, telltale and 

indicator that is listed in column 1 of 

Table 1 or Table 2 must be identified by 

the symbol specified for it in column 2 

or the word or abbreviation specified for 

it in column 3 of Table 1 or Table 2. 

Specifically, the speedometer must only 

allow the speed to be displayed in miles 

per hour (MPH) or km/h and MPH. 

V. Summary of FCA’s Petition 

The following views and arguments 

presented in this section, ‘‘V. Summary 

of FCA’s Petition,’’ are the views and 

arguments provided by FCA and do not 

reflect the views of the Agency. In its 

petition, FCA describes the subject 

noncompliance and contends that the 

noncompliance is inconsequential as it 

relates to motor vehicle safety. 

In support of its petition, FCA offers 

the following reasoning: 

1. FCA states that the vehicles are 

initially delivered for first-sale in a 

compliant state (vehicle speed 

displayed in MPH) and that it is only 

through vehicle operator interaction that 

the settings can be changed from MPH 

to km/h. FCA believes that this 

adjustment cannot be accomplished 

inadvertently. 

2. FCA states that the two 

speedometer settings are clearly and 

continuously identified as ‘‘km/h’’ or 

‘‘MPH’’. In addition, the two 

speedometer scales are noticeably 

different, and if a previous vehicle 

operator changed the units, a 

subsequent vehicle operator would be 

able to tell in a glance that the scale is 

not in MPH. 

3. FCA states that the vehicle speed in 

km/h is 1.6 times greater than speed in 

MPH [in terms of numeric value 

displayed by the speedometer—1km/h 

is approximately 0.62 MPH]. FCA 

believes that if a vehicle operator 

changes the display to km/h and then 

later forgets that the change had been 

made, the operator will recognize that 

the vehicle is moving at a slower speed 

than intended and adjust the speed to 

match the road and vehicle conditions. 

This should alert the operator to (at the 

next appropriate opportunity) perform 

the appropriate steps to adjust the 

speedometer. 

4. FCA also states that the owner’s 

manuals for all of the affected vehicles 

contain instructions to change the 

speedometer display. Therefore, if a 

vehicle operator needs assistance to 

reconfigure the display to MPH, 

instructions are available. 

5. FCA further states that the owner’s 

manuals contain toll-free numbers to the 

FCA customer help-lines. Therefore, if a 

vehicle operator notices that the speed 

is unintentionally displayed in km/h
