Résumé de l’enjeu	Il est de coutume que les défauts/infractions nécessitant plusieurs occurrences ou un pourcentage spécifié pour atteindre le niveau de mise hors service (OOS) soient réparés avant la remise en service du véhicule. Or, le manuel de l'OOSC ne contient aucune disposition ni exigence de ce type.
Justification ou besoin	Plusieurs incidents ont eu lieu où l'exploitant a protesté contre cette pratique commerciale et a voulu, de fait, réparer tous les freins défectueux sauf un, afin que le nombre total de freins défectueux soit inférieur au seuil de 20 %. Cette situation se produit le plus souvent avec le système OOSC (Outils de maintenance et de contrôle des opérations) relatif aux freins défectueux à 20 %, mais elle peut également s'appliquer à d'autres éléments de ce système (feux d'arrêt, attelages, fixations de roues, panneaux de signalisation HM/DG, numéros d'identification HM/DG, etc.). Dans les cas où cela s'est produit, aucune politique écrite concernant cette pratique commerciale n'a pu être trouvée.
Demande d’action	Je recommande au Comité des véhicules d'examiner cette question en consultation avec le Comité des marchandises dangereuses et de proposer une formulation à insérer dans les énoncés de politique des parties II et III du OOSC.
Mesures prises par le comité	This issue was handled in conjunction with 09-028-VEH. Discussion around these issues resulted in 3 issues that needed to be addressed to assist inspectors and industry on requirements when vehicles are placed out-of-service. 1. What needs to be repaired to return to service, 2 The prohibition against repairing an OOS condition by creating a violation, 3 That vehicles in a combination declared OOS that have none of the OOS conditions, can be returned to service immediately. This change also affects Operational Policy 5, "Required Repairs for Out-Of-Service Notices", and "Inspection Guidance" Frequently Asked Questions - #2 (approved in Louisville). This issue was also given to the Hazardous Materials Committee to develop a policy for Part III as well to deal with the same issue.Revised Wording: OUT-OF-SERVICE: Authorized personnel shall declare and mark "out-of-service" any motor vehicle which by reason of its mechanical condition or loading would be likely to cause an accident or breakdown. An "out-of-service vehicle" sticker shall be used to mark vehicles "out-of-service." No motor carrier shall require nor shall any person operate, or any inspector release any commercial motor vehicle declared and marked "out-of-service" until all repairs required by the "out-of-service notice" have been satisfactorily completed to where a violation no longer exists.When a vehicle is declared out-of-service for a condition resulting from an accumulation of violations, all violations that contributed to the specific out-of-service condition must be repaired (e.g. a vehicle, or vehicles in combination declared out-of-service for 20 percent defective brake violations must have all the 20 percent defective brake violations repaired prior to being released; or, a vehicle declared out-of-service for two tires at less than 1/32 inch (.8mm) tread depth must have both tire violations repaired prior to the vehicle being released, etc).An out-of-service condition cannot be corrected by creating a new violation (e.g. if a vehicle is declared out-of-service for three missing wheel fasteners on one wheel, wheel fasteners from other wheels cannot be removed to correct this out-of-service condition, etc).When vehicles in combination are declared out-of-service for 20 percent defective brake violations, any vehicle within the combination that does not contain a brake violation that contributed to the 20 percent defective brake out-of-service condition is allowed to proceed providing it does not contain any other out-of-service conditions.No person shall remove the "out-of-service vehicle" sticker from any motor vehicle prior to completion of all repairs required by the "out-of-service notice." Executive Committee approved the amendment.

Résumé de l’enjeu

Il est de coutume que les défauts/infractions nécessitant plusieurs occurrences ou un pourcentage spécifié pour atteindre le niveau de mise hors service (OOS) soient réparés avant la remise en service du véhicule. Or, le manuel de l'OOSC ne contient aucune disposition ni exigence de ce type.
