| 2020-09429 | Denial of Motor Vehicle Defect Petition, DP14-001 | Notice | This notice sets forth the reasons for the denial of a petition submitted on November 14, 2013, by Mr. Donald Friedman to NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI). The petition requests that the agency commence a proceeding to determine the existence of a defect related to motor vehicle safety with respect to the air bag system's logic and algorithm. The Petitioner alleges that a defect in the Occupant Classification System (OCS) in various model year (MY) 2004-2010 General Motors (GM) vehicles causes an unintended suppression of the front passenger air bag moments prior to a frontal impact/crash. After examination of the petition and available data relating to the subject vehicles' OCS and the specific crash incident where the OCS allegedly failed to operate properly, NHTSA has concluded that further expenditure of the agency's investigative resources on the issues raised by the petition is not warranted. The agency accordingly has denied the petition. The agency will continue to monitor OCS performance in subject vehicles and may take further action as appropriate. The petition is hereinafter identified as DP14-001. | 2020-05-04 | 2020 | 5 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/05/04/2020-09429/denial-of-motor-vehicle-defect-petition-dp14-001 | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-05-04/pdf/2020-09429.pdf | Transportation Department; National Highway Traffic Safety Administration | 492,345 | This notice sets forth the reasons for the denial of a petition submitted on November 14, 2013, by Mr. Donald Friedman to NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI).
