SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
I. Overview
Nissan has determined that certain
replacement windshield glass panes
manufactured by Central Glass Co., Ltd.,
outsourced to Japan Tempered &
Laminated Glass Co., Ltd., and sold to
Nissan as replacement parts for use in
certain Nissan motor vehicles do not
fully comply with the requirements of
paragraph S6.2 of FMVSS No. 205,
Glazing Materials (49 CFR 571.205).
Nissan filed a noncompliance report
dated June 29, 2020, pursuant to 49 CFR
part 573, Defect and Noncompliance
Responsibility and Reports. Nissan
subsequently petitioned NHTSA on July
29, 2020, 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 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h) and 49 CFR part 556,
Exemption for Inconsequential Defect or
Noncompliance.
This notice of receipt of Nissan’s
petition is published under 49 U.S.C.
30118 and 30120 and does not represent
any Agency decision or other exercise of
judgment concerning the merits of the
petition.
II. Windshields Involved
Approximately 1,934 replacement
windshield glass panes sold as
replacement service parts, manufactured
between April 1, 2000, and April 30,
2012, are potentially involved. These
replacement windshield glass panes
were manufactured by Central Glass Co.,
Ltd., who subsequently outsourced to a
subsidiary company, Japan Tempered &
Laminated Glass Co., Ltd., and sold to
Nissan as replacement parts for Nissan
motor vehicles.
III. Noncompliance
Nissan explains that the
noncompliance is that subject
replacement windshield glass panes
manufactured by Central Glass Co., Ltd.,
who subsequently outsourced to a
subsidiary company, Japan Tempered &
Laminated Glass Co., Ltd., and sold to
Nissan as replacement parts for use in
certain Nissan motor vehicles contain
the incorrect manufacturer’s code mark
and therefore, do not meet the
requirements set forth in paragraph S6.2
of FMVSS No. 205. Specifically, the
subject replacement windshield glass
panes were marked with manufacturer
code DOT44, which applies to Central
Glass Co., Ltd., when they should have
been marked, DOT166, which applies to
Japan Tempered & Laminated Glass Co.,
Ltd. (JTLG).
IV. Rule Requirements
Paragraph S6.2 of FMVSS No. 205
includes the requirements relevant to
this petition. A prime glazing
manufacturer certifies its glazing by
adding to the marks required by section
7 of ANSI/SAE Z26. 1–1996, in letters
and numerals of the same size, the
symbol ‘‘DOT’’ and a manufacturer’s
code mark that NHTSA assigns to the
manufacturer. NHTSA will assign a
code mark to a manufacturer after the
manufacturer submits a written request
to the Office of Vehicle Safety
Compliance, National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, U.S. Department
of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590. The
request must include the company
name, address, and a statement from the
manufacturer certifying its status as a
prime glazing manufacturer as defined
in S4.
V. Summary of Nissan’s Petition
The following views and arguments
presented in this section, ‘‘V. Summary
of Nissan’s Petition,’’ are the views and
arguments provided by Nissan. They
have not been evaluated by the Agency
and do not reflect the views of the
Agency. Nissan describes the subject
noncompliance and contends that the
noncompliance is inconsequential as it
relates to motor vehicle safety.
In support of its petition, Nissan
offers the following reasoning:
1. Nissan states that although the
manufacturer code is incorrect, the
certification mark affixed to the subject
parts features the correct AS Item
number and model number (i.e., M
number). In addition, the windshield
glass panes were fabricated in full
compliance with the technical
requirements of 49 CFR 571.205
applicable to laminated glass for use in
motor vehicles.
2. Nissan says that many of the 1,934
windshield glass components that may
VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:42 Apr 12, 2021 Jkt 253001 PO 00000 Frm 00110 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\13APN1.SGM 13APN1
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
19321
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 13, 2021 / Notices
contain an incorrect manufacturer’s
code are located in non-U.S. markets.
For this reason, Nissan believes the
actual number of subject parts is
substantially lower than the 1,934
possible windshield glass panes because
only a small number of potentially
affected windshield glass panes were
shipped to the U.S. market for use as
service parts between April 1, 2000, and
April 30, 2012.
3. Nissan also states that the part
number remains accurate, despite the
manufacturer’s code discrepancy. The
subject noncompliance, accordingly, is
unlikely to result in the use of an
incorrect replacement part in an OEM
application because the part would be
ordered using Nissan’s unique part
number and not the ‘‘DOT’’ number. In
Nissan’s ordering system, parts with the
incorrect manufacturing code are
indistinguishable from parts with the
correct code. In fact, the parts are
traceable to Central Glass Co., Ltd.,
since the incorrect code used by their
subsidiary, JLTG is the code for the
parent company, Central Glass Co., Ltd.
4. Nissan believes that there is a low
likelihood of a vehicle requiring this
replacement part because the average
age of potentially affected vehicles (MY
1991–1999) is 25+ years old. Currently,
only one replacement windshield glass
service part (727120M010) is in stock
and available. However, Nissan
instructed the Sagamihara Part Center in
Japan to suspend shipment for this part.
Even so, if a vehicle previously received
or were to receive a subject replacement
part, the part fully complies with the
technical requirements of 49 CFR
571.205. In no way is the actual safety
aspect of the windshield glass
compromised by the misprinted
manufacturer’s code.
5. Nissan contends that in similar
situations, NHTSA has granted the
applications of other petitioners. For
example, 80 FR 3737 (January 23, 2015)
Petition by Custom Glass Solutions
Upper Sandusky Corporation.
•‘‘Custom Glass explains that the
noncompliance is that the labeling on
the subject laminated glass panes does
not fully meet the requirements of
paragraph S6 of FMVSS No. 205. The
panes were labeled with the incorrect
manufacturer’s code mark, incorrect
manufacturer’s trademark, and incorrect
manufacturer’s model number, and were
incorrectly marked as Tempered.’’
•Nissan cited NHTSA, saying
‘‘NHTSA believes that the subject
labeling errors are inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety because the
marking of glazing as ‘Tempered’ or
‘Laminated’ is not required by FMVSS
No. 205, the probability of anyone in the
United States obtaining the subject
incorrectly marked glazing as
replacement glazing is very unlikely
since the affected glazing is specifically
designed for use in mining vehicles
manufactured by Atlas Copco in
Australia. In addition, there is no
concern that the wrong model number
on the subject glazing would result in an
incorrect replacement part being used
because replacement parts are ordered
by referring to the glazing part number
or by identifying the vehicle for which
the replacement glazing is intended.’’
Nissan concludes by again contending
that the subject noncompliance is
inconsequential as it relates to motor
vehicle safety, and that its petition to be
exempted from providing notification of
the noncompliance, as required by 49
U.S.C. 30118, and a remedy for the
noncompliance, as required by 49
U.S.C. 30120, should be granted.
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, any
decision on this petition only applies to
the subject vehicles and equipment that
Nissan no longer controlled at the time
it determined that the noncompliance
existed. However, any decision on this
petition does not relieve vehicle and
equipment distributors and dealers of
the prohibitions on the sale, offer for
sale, or introduction or delivery for
introduction into interstate commerce of
the noncompliant vehicles and
replacement windshield glass panes
under their control after Nissan notified
them that the subject noncompliance
existed.
