Title: Early Warning Reporting and Foreign Defect Reporting Regulation (MAP-21)
Abstract: This rulemaking would make amendments to the early warning reporting (EWR) rule established pursuant to the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act, as well as amendments to the regulations governing motor vehicle and equipment recalls. As to the changes to the EWR rule, this rulemaking would require that new safety equipment be added to the list of components for which manufacturers must provide early warning reporting. This rulemaking would add requirements that light vehicle manufacturers specify the vehicle type and the fuel or propulsion system type (like hybrids) in their quarterly EWR submissions. It would also add new component categories of electronic stability control for light vehicles, buses, emergency vehicles, and medium-heavy vehicle manufacturers; and forward collision avoidance, lane departure prevention, and back over prevention for light vehicle manufacturers. In addition to the EWR proposals, this rulemaking would require motor vehicle manufacturers to submit their annual list of substantially similar vehicles via the Internet. As for amendments to the safety recalls regulations, this rulemaking would impose various enhancements to garner information, in many cases electronically, that are expected to help expedite the agency's review, processing, and distribution of information to the public related to a safety recall, as well as expedite the manufacturer's information on a recall to affected owners and better inform consumers of whether their personal vehicles are affected by a safety recall. This rulemaking would be responsive to requirements of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act.
