Abstract
This notice sets forth the reasons for the denial of a defect petition (DP22-003) jointly submitted by a consulting firm and four automotive associations requesting that the Agency initiate a safety defect investigation into the loss of motive power incidents attributed to oil drain pan assembly failures on certain Hyundai Motor America, Inc. and Kia America, Inc. vehicles spanning Model Years (MY) 2005- 2021. After conducting a technical review of the petition and other information, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation has concluded that the issues raised by the petition do not warrant a defect investigation at this time. Accordingly, the Agency has denied the petition.
