Reporting of Information and Documents About Potential Defects

This document responds to previously-unaddressed issues raised in petitions for reconsideration of the final rule published on July 10, 2002, that implemented the early warning reporting provisions of the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act. Under this rule, motor vehicle and motor vehicle equipment manufacturers will be required to report information and to submit documents about customer satisfaction campaigns and other activities and events that may assist NHTSA to promptly identify defects related to motor vehicle safety. NHTSA responded to some of the issues raised in the petitions in a notice published on April 15, 2003, and stated that it would respond to the remaining issues in the future.
