Denial of Motor Vehicle Defect Petition, DP02-006

This notice sets forth the reasons for the denial of a petition submitted to NHTSA under 49 U.S.C. 30162, requesting that the agency commence a proceeding to determine the existence of a defect related to motor vehicle safety in model year (MY) 2000 Kia Sportage vehicles with respect to their propensity to roll over. After reviewing the petition and other information, NHTSA has concluded that further expenditure of the agency's investigative resources on the issue raised by the petition does not appear to be warranted. The agency accordingly has denied the petition. The petition is hereinafter identified as DP02-006.
