No. Our inspection records show that 374.201A-PC has a 0.0% out-of-service rate across all citations in our database. Of the 1 citation ever recorded for this code, the vehicle was not placed out of service. This is significantly lower than the national average OOS rate of 31.4% across all FMCSR codes, meaning this violation is typically treated as a citation without immediate removal from service.
374.201A-PC ranks #2,796 out of 3,036 FMCSR codes by citation volume, placing it among the least-cited violations in our 13 million inspection records. Your peer codes in the same category—like 376.11(d)(1) with 6,383 citations and a 0.0% OOS rate, and 107.620(b) with 2,120 citations at 0.2% OOS rate—show similarly low enforcement frequency. This code is rarely enforced relative to high-volume violations.
Our inspection database records only 1 all-time citation for 374.201A-PC across all 50 states. This citation was issued to Lily's Bus Lines Inc (USDOT 3,421,807). Because the enforcement volume is so low, we cannot reliably identify high-citation states. If you receive this citation, it is an outlier event rather than a pattern enforcement action in any particular region.
Yes. If you believe the citation was issued in error or lacks proper evidence, your carrier can submit a DataQs (Roadside Data Quality) challenge with FMCSA. You will need to provide documentation that contradicts the inspection finding—such as maintenance records, photos, repair receipts, or equipment certifications. FMCSA reviews these challenges and may remove the citation from your record if the evidence supports your case. Work with your fleet safety manager to gather and file the challenge within the allowable timeframe.
Across our 13 million inspection records, 374.201A-PC had 0 citations in the last 12 months and 0 citations in the last 90 days. The only citation on record is historical. This code is virtually never enforced in current roadside inspections, making it an extremely rare violation. If you received a citation for this code recently, it may warrant immediate verification of the citation details.
FMCSA citations are linked to both your driver file and your carrier's safety record through the CSA system. If you change employers, the citation remains on your history. However, because 374.201A-PC has a 0.0% OOS rate and is rarely enforced, its impact on your record is minimal compared to higher-severity violations. Your next carrier will see it during a background check, but it reflects a single, non-critical finding rather than a pattern of unsafe practice.
