CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
In the Matter of: Kawasaki Heavy Industries, LTD.; Kawasaki
Motors Corp., U.S.A.; and Kawasaki Motors Manufacturing Corp.,
U.S.A.
CPSC Docket No.: 17-C0004
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
1. In accordance with the Consumer Product Safety Act, 15 U.S.C.
Sec. Sec. 2051-2089 (``CPSA'') and 16 C.F.R. Sec. 1118.20, Kawasaki
Heavy Industries, Ltd., Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., and Kawasaki
Motors Manufacturing Corp., U.S.A. (collectively, ``Kawasaki''), and
the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (``Commission''),
through its staff, hereby enter into this Settlement Agreement
(``Agreement''). The Agreement and the incorporated attached Order
resolve staff's charges set forth below.
THE PARTIES
2. The Commission is an independent federal regulatory agency,
established pursuant to, and responsible for, the enforcement of the
CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec. Sec. 2051-2089. By executing the Agreement, staff
is acting on behalf of the Commission, pursuant to 16 C.F.R. Sec.
1118.20(b). The Commission issues this Order under the provisions of
the CPSA.
3. Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (``KHI'') is a corporation,
organized and existing under the laws of Japan, with its principal
place of business in Japan.
4. Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. (``KMC'') is a corporation,
organized and existing under the laws of the state of Delaware, with
its principal place of business in Foothill Ranch, CA. KMC is a wholly-
owned subsidiary of KHI.
5. Kawasaki Motors Manufacturing Corp., U.S.A. (``KMM'') is a
corporation, organized and existing under the laws of the state of
Nebraska, with its principal place of business in Lincoln, NE. KMM is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of KHI.
STAFF CHARGES
6. Between October 2011 and December 2015, Kawasaki manufactured,
distributed, and offered for sale in the United States approximately
11,000 model year 2012 and 2013 Teryx4 750 4x4s (``Teryx4 750'') and
approximately 19,500 2014-2016 model year Teryx4 800 4x4s (``Teryx4
800'') and Teryx 800 4x4s (``Teryx 800'') (collectively, ``Teryxs'' or
``Subject Products''). The Teryxs are four-wheel recreational off-
highway vehicles that have automotive style controls and seating for
two or four persons, depending on model type.
7. KMM manufactures and assembles the Subject Products, which are
then sold to KMC for distribution.
8. KMC is responsible for, among other things, the distribution,
marketing, and Quality Assurance of the Subject Products in the United
States.
9. KHI is primarily responsible for the design, development, and
engineering of the Subject Products. KHI retains ultimate control over
the operations of KMC and KMM, including retaining recall authority.
10. The Teryxs are a ``consumer product,'' ``distribut[ed] in
commerce,'' as those terms are defined or used in sections 3(a)(5) and
(8) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 2052(a)(5) and (8). Kawasaki is a
``distributor'' or a ``manufacturer'' of the Teryxs, as such terms are
defined in section 3(a)(7) and (11) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec.
2052(a)(7) and (11).
Violation of CPSA Section 19(a)(4)
11. The Teryxs contain a defect which could create a substantial
product hazard and create an unreasonable risk of serious injury
because sticks or other debris can break through the Teryxs' floor
board and protrude into the foot rest area, posing an injury hazard to
the operator and front passenger.
12. Between April 2012 and July 2014, Kawasaki received more than
400 incident reports of Teryx4 750 floorboards cracking or breaking
during normal operation due to impact with, or penetration by, debris
from outside the vehicle. At least three of the incident reports
resulted in injuries to consumers, including one serious injury.
13. In April 2012, Kawasaki began an investigation into the Teryx4
750 incidents. In October 2012, Kawasaki approved a design change to
the Teryx4 750. The design change consisted of a metal strike plate to
address the hazard and was implemented on Teryx4 750 models beginning
in early 2013.
14. In May 2013, Kawasaki stopped manufacturing the Teryx4 750 and
began manufacturing the Teryx 800 and Teryx4 800.
15. In December 2013, in anticipation of production for the 2015
model year, Kawasaki approved an additional design change. This design
change involved enhanced floorboard guards for implementation on the
2015 model year Teryx 800 and Teryx4 800.
16. Kawasaki did not immediately inform the Commission under 15
U.S.C. Sec. 2064(b) regarding the defect and risk posed by the Teryx4
750 and did not file a Full Report as required by 16 C.F.R. Sec.
1115.13(d) until July 9, 2014.
17. Kawasaki and the Commission jointly announced a recall of
approximately 11,000 Teryx4 750s on July 30, 2014.
18. Between July 2013 and August 2015, Kawasaki received more than
150 incident reports of Teryx4 800 or Teryx 800 floor boards cracking
or breaking during normal operation due to impact with, or penetration
by, debris from outside the vehicle. At least three of the incident
reports resulted in injuries to consumers, including two serious
injuries.
19. Kawasaki did not immediately inform the Commission under 15
U.S.C. Sec. 2064(b) regarding the defect and risk posed by the Teryx4
800 and Teryx 800 and did not file a Full Report as required by 16
C.F.R. Sec. 1115.13(d) until August 19, 2015.
20. Kawasaki and the Commission jointly announced a recall of
approximately 19,500 Teryx4 800s and Teryx 800s on December 15, 2015.
21. Despite having information reasonably supporting the conclusion
that the Teryxs contained a defect and created an unreasonable risk of
serious injury, Kawasaki did not immediately inform the Commission of
such defect or risk, as required by sections 15(b)(3) and (4) of the
CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 2064(b)(3) and (4), in violation of section
19(a)(4) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 2068(a)(4).
22. Because the information in Kawasaki's possession constituted
actual and presumed knowledge, Kawasaki knowingly violated section
19(a)(4) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 2068(a)(4), as the term
``knowingly'' is
[[Page 25781]]
defined in section 20(d) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 2069(d).
23. Pursuant to Section 20 of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 2069,
Kawasaki is subject to civil penalties for its knowing violation of
section 19(a)(4) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 2068(a)(4).
Violation of CPSA Section 19(a)(13)
24. Kawasaki's July 9, 2014, Full Report reported a single incident
and an unspecified number of injuries related to the Subject Products'
floorboards. The Full Report did not identify more than 400 similar
incidents involving the Subject Products about which Kawasaki had
actual or presumed knowledge, and excluded any incidents relating to
the Teryx4 800 and Teryx 800. This omission constitutes a material
misrepresentation under section 19(a)(13) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec.
2068(a)(13).
25. Kawasaki's misrepresentation impeded CPSC staff's investigation
into the hazard posed by the Subject Products' floorboards and
Kawasaki's proposed repair, and hampered staff's ability to accurately
communicate the prevalence of the hazard to the public.
26. By knowingly making a material misrepresentation to an officer
or employee of the CPSC in the course of an investigation under the
CPSA, Kawasaki knowingly violated section 19(a)(13) of the CPSA, 15
U.S.C. Sec. 2068(a)(13), as the term ``knowingly'' is defined in
section 20(d) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 2069(d). Pursuant to section
20 of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 2069, Kawasaki is subject to civil
penalties for its knowing violation of section 19(a)(13) of the CPSA,
15 U.S.C. Sec. 2068(a)(13).
RESPONSE OF KAWASAKI
27. The signing of this Agreement does not constitute an admission
in any respect by Kawasaki of the staff charges, set forth above in
paragraphs 6 through 26, including, but not limited to, that: (a) the
Teryx4 750, Teryx4 800, and Teryx 800 contained a defect which could
create a substantial product hazard and created an unreasonable risk of
serious injury; (b) Kawasaki failed to inform the Commission of any
reportable issues related to the Teryxs in a timely manner, in
accordance with sections 15(b)(3) and (4) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C.
Sec. Sec. 2064(b)(3) and (4); (c) Kawasaki failed to furnish
information as required by the statute (sections 15(b)(3) and (4), 15
U.S.C. Sec. Sec. 2064(b)(3) and (4)), in violation of section 19(a)(4)
of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 2068(a)(4); and (d) there was any
``knowing'' violation of the CPSA as that term is defined in section
20(d) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 2069(d).
28. The Teryx4 750, Teryx4 800, and Teryx 800 are side-by-side
recreational off-highway vehicles which are used in a variety of
challenging off-road environments where breakage of various parts,
including floor boards, can occur.
29. Kawasaki conducted a reasonable and diligent investigation of
reported incidents of floor board breakage, including the smaller
number of reported instances of stick penetration and the handful of
reports of injury. Due to the nature of the products and the variety of
ways and environments in which they are used, incident reports can be
difficult to evaluate, since use of the Teryx4 750, Teryx4 800, and
Teryx 800, like all side-by-side recreational off-highway vehicles,
involves the possibility of parts breakage.
30. The voluntary recalls of the Teryx4 750, Teryx4 800, and Teryx
800 and related reporting to the Commission under section 15(b) of the
CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 2064(b), were conducted by Kawasaki out of an
abundance of caution and without having determined or concluded that
the Teryx4 750, Teryx4 800, and Teryx 800 contained a defect which
could create a substantial product hazard or created an unreasonable
risk of serious injury. Kawasaki may submit a corrective action plan to
the Commission without admitting that either reportable information or
a substantial product hazard exists. See 16 C.F.R. Sec.
1115.20(a)(1)(xiii). Kawasaki also makes design changes to its products
to address customer satisfaction.
31. Kawasaki denies the staff charges that Kawasaki committed a
material misrepresentation by omission in the July 9, 2014 Full Report
in violation of section 19(a)(13) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec.
2068(a)(13), and further denies that Kawasaki committed a ``knowing''
violation of section 19(a)(13) as that term is defined in section 20(d)
of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 2069(d).
32. Pursuant to section 20(a)(1) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec.
2069(a)(1), the amount of the agreed civil penalty which can be
attributable to the claim of material misrepresentation by omission
under section 19(a)(13) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 2068(a)(13),
cannot exceed $100,000.
33. Kawasaki believes that it did nothing wrong in this matter and
that it complied with the CPSA in all respects. Kawasaki disputes the
staff's allegations that Kawasaki had information that the Teryxs
contained a defect which could create a substantial product hazard and
created an unreasonable risk of injury. Kawasaki believes that it
informed the Commission of any reportable issues regarding the Teryxs
in a timely manner and furnished information to CPSC as required by the
CPSA. Kawasaki does not believe that it knowingly violated the CPSA as
that term is defined in the statute.
34. Pursuant to paragraphs 43 through 45, Kawasaki will maintain
its program for current and future compliance with the CPSA.
35. Kawasaki enters into this Agreement in order to settle this
matter without the delay and unnecessary expense of litigation.
AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES
36. Under the CPSA, the Commission has jurisdiction over the matter
involving the Subject Products and over Kawasaki.
37. The parties enter into this Agreement for settlement purposes
only. The Agreement does not constitute an admission by Kawasaki, or a
determination by the Commission, that Kawasaki violated the CPSA's
reporting requirements or made material misrepresentations to an
officer or employee of the Commission.
38. In settlement of staff's charges, and to avoid the cost,
distraction, delay, uncertainty, and inconvenience of protracted
litigation or other proceedings, Kawasaki shall pay a civil penalty in
the amount of five million, two hundred thousand dollars ($5,200,000)
within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving service of the
Commission's final Order accepting the Agreement. All payments to be
made under the Agreement shall constitute debts owing to the United
States and shall be made by electronic wire transfer to the United
States via: http://www.pay.gov, for allocation to, and credit against,
the payment obligations of Kawasaki under this Agreement. Failure to
make such payment by the date specified in the Commission's final Order
shall constitute Default.
39. All unpaid amounts, if any, due and owing under the Agreement,
shall constitute a debt due and immediately owing by Kawasaki to the
United States, and interest shall accrue and be paid by Kawasaki at the
federal legal rate of interest set forth at 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1961(a) and
(b) from the date of Default, until all amounts due have been paid in
full (hereinafter ``Default Payment Amount'' and ``Default Interest
Balance''). Kawasaki shall consent to a Consent Judgment in the amount
of the Default Payment Amount and Default Interest Balance, and the
United States, at its sole option, may collect the entire Default
Payment Amount and Default Interest Balance, or exercise any other
[[Page 25782]]
rights granted by law or in equity, including, but not limited to,
referring such matters for private collection, and Kawasaki agrees not
to contest, and hereby waives and discharges, any defenses to any
collection action undertaken by the United States, or its agents or
contractors, pursuant to this paragraph. Kawasaki shall pay the United
States all reasonable costs of collection and enforcement under this
paragraph, respectively, including reasonable attorney's fees and
expenses.
40. After staff receives this Agreement executed on behalf of
Kawasaki, staff shall promptly submit the Agreement to the Commission
for provisional acceptance. Promptly following provisional acceptance
of the Agreement by the Commission, the Agreement shall be placed on
the public record and published in the Federal Register, in accordance
with the procedures set forth in 16 C.F.R. Sec. 1118.20(e). If the
Commission does not receive any written request not to accept the
Agreement within fifteen (15) calendar days, the Agreement shall be
deemed finally accepted on the 16th calendar day after the date the
Agreement is published in the Federal Register, in accordance with 16
C.F.R. Sec. 1118.20(f).
41. This Agreement is conditioned upon, and subject to, the
Commission's final acceptance, as set forth above, and it is subject to
the provisions of 16 C.F.R. Sec. 1118.20(h). Upon the later of: (i)
Commission's final acceptance of this Agreement and service of the
accepted Agreement upon Kawasaki, and (ii) the date of issuance of the
final Order, this Agreement shall be in full force and effect, and
shall be binding upon the parties.
42. Effective upon the later of: (i) the Commission's final
acceptance of the Agreement and service of the accepted Agreement upon
Kawasaki, and (ii) the date of issuance of the final Order, for good
and valuable consideration, Kawasaki hereby expressly and irrevocably
waives and agrees not to assert any past, present, or future rights to
the following, in connection with the matter described in this
Agreement: (i) an administrative or judicial hearing; (ii) judicial
review or other challenge or contest of the Commission's actions; (iii)
a determination by the Commission of whether Kawasaki failed to comply
with the CPSA and the underlying regulations; (iv) a statement of
findings of fact and conclusions of law; and (v) any claims under the
Equal Access to Justice Act.
43. Kawasaki shall maintain a compliance program designed to ensure
compliance with the CPSA with respect to any consumer product imported,
manufactured, distributed or sold by the Firm, and which shall contain
the following elements: (i) written standards, policies and procedures,
including those designed to ensure that information that may relate to
or impact CPSA compliance (including information obtained by quality
control personnel) is conveyed effectively to personnel responsible for
CPSA compliance, whether or not an injury is referenced; (ii) a
mechanism for confidential employee reporting of compliance-related
questions or concerns to either a compliance officer or to another
senior manager with authority to act as necessary; (iii) effective
communication of company compliance-related policies and procedures
regarding the CPSA to all applicable employees through training
programs or otherwise; (iv) the Firm's senior management responsibility
for, and general board oversight of, CPSA compliance; and (v) retention
of all CPSA compliance-related records for at least five (5) years, and
availability of such records to staff upon request.
44. Kawasaki shall maintain and enforce a system of internal
controls and procedures designed to ensure that, with respect to all
consumer products imported, manufactured, distributed or sold by
Kawasaki: (i) information required to be disclosed by Kawasaki to the
Commission is recorded, processed and reported in accordance with
applicable law; (ii) all reporting made to the Commission is timely,
truthful, complete, accurate and in accordance with applicable law; and
(iii) prompt disclosure is made to Kawasaki's management of any
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or
operation of such internal controls that are reasonably likely to
affect adversely, in any material respect, Kawasaki's ability to
record, process and report to the Commission in accordance with
applicable law.
45. Upon reasonable request of staff, Kawasaki shall provide
written documentation of its internal controls and procedures,
including, but not limited to, the effective dates of the procedures
and improvements thereto. Kawasaki shall cooperate fully and truthfully
with staff and shall make available all non-privileged information and
materials, and personnel deemed necessary by staff to evaluate
Kawasaki's compliance with the terms of the Agreement.
46. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Commission may
publicize the terms of the Agreement and the Order.
47. Kawasaki represents that the Agreement: (i) is entered into
freely and voluntarily, without any degree of duress or compulsion
whatsoever; (ii) has been duly authorized; and (iii) constitutes the
valid and binding obligation of Kawasaki, enforceable against Kawasaki
in accordance with its terms. Kawasaki will not directly or indirectly
receive any reimbursement, indemnification, insurance-related payment,
or other payment in connection with the civil penalty to be paid by
Kawasaki pursuant to the Agreement and Order. The individuals signing
the Agreement on behalf of Kawasaki represent and warrant that they are
duly authorized by Kawasaki to execute the Agreement.
48. The signatories represent that they are authorized to execute
this Agreement.
49. The Agreement is governed by the laws of the United States.
50. The Agreement and the Order shall apply to, and be binding
upon, Kawasaki and each of its successors, transferees, and assigns;
and a violation of the Agreement or Order may subject Kawasaki, and
each of its successors, transferees, and assigns, to appropriate legal
action.
51. The Agreement and the Order constitute the complete agreement
between the parties on the subject matter contained therein.
52. The Agreement may be used in interpreting the Order.
Understandings, agreements, representations, or interpretations apart
from those contained in the Agreement and the Order may not be used to
vary or contradict their terms. For purposes of construction, the
Agreement shall be deemed to have been drafted by both of the parties
and shall not, therefore, be construed against any party, for that
reason, in any subsequent dispute.
53. The Agreement may not be waived, amended, modified, or
otherwise altered, except as in accordance with the provisions of 16
C.F.R. Sec. 1118.20(h). The Agreement may be executed in counterparts.
54. If any provision of the Agreement or the Order is held to be
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws
effective during the terms of the Agreement and the Order, such
provision shall be fully severable. The balance of the Agreement and
the Order shall remain in full force and effect, unless the Commission
and Kawasaki agree in writing that severing the provision materially
affects the purpose of the Agreement and the Order.
