I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 5/1/19 WHERE A WOMAN HIT ME FROM THE SIDE AT 20-30 MPH FROM THE SIDE. THE IMPACT WAS PRETTY SQUARE ON THE FRONT, DRIVER-SIDE QUARTER PANEL. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND I HAVE A WHIPLASH INJURY. WHEN I SAW THE RECALL ON SOME 2016 LEXUS RX450H FOR A VERY SIMILAR ISSUE, I THOUGHT I'D RAISE THE CONCERN AND ASK FOR AN INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF ANY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I'VE INCLUDED THE ACCIDENT REPORT (POOR QUALITY SCAN BUT STILL READABLE), AND PHOTOS. THE ACCIDENT REPORT SAYS THAT MY CAR WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THAT I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP BY THE TIME SHE HIT ME. WE'RE CURRENTLY AT $22K DAMAGE AND CLIMBING. WITH THE LOCATION OF THE IMPACT, IT'S UNCLEAR TO ME WHETHER THE AIR-BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. IF YOU LOOK AT THE FRONT FACING PHOTO, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE BUMPER AND QUARTER PANEL DID NOT POP BACK OUT AND RETAINED THE SHAPE OF THE IMPACT. THIS SHOULD GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW FAR THE IMPACT SHOVED THINGS IN. THE WHEEL WAS HIT TOO, WHICH DAMAGED SUSPENSION AND STEERING. MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. SHOULD IT HAVE BEEN?

NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.
An investigation is not a finding of a defect, and closure does not prove a vehicle is problem-free.
