Dear Mr. McIntosh: This is in reply to your letter of February 19, 1974, forwarding to u for approval a draft notification letter regarding the Checker front seat adjuster (CIR-727).; The one remaining problem we have with your letter is in the secon paragraph. Because Checker is a manufacturer of motor vehicles, the appropriate determination by Checker pursuant to S 577.4(b)(1) is that the defect exists in the motor vehicles in question. Your second sentence should be changed, and may be changed to read, 'The Checker Motors Corporation has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 1972 model Checker vehicles manufactured from December 9, 1971, through April 5, 1972, and results from improperly installed front seat adjuster assemblies.'; We have decided to accept notification letters in which the referenc to 'some' vehicles (S 577.4(b)(2)) is placed in the sentence required by S 577.4(b)(1).; Sincerely, Lawrence R. Schneider, Chief Counsel
