5. In addition to the routine SMC inspection which must take place at least once every six months in accordance with section 3 of this act, the following events shall cause a full SMC eight-point inspection to be done immediately:
a. a repair is done to remedy a defect that would be the basis for failure of an SMC inspection other than a minor repair or minor equipment defect,
b. a defect is noted on an in-gate interchange receipt that would be the basis for failure of an SMC inspection other than a minor repair or minor equipment defect, or
c. an SMC inspection sticker has expired.
For purposes of this section, "minor repair or minor equipment defect" means any one of the following: the need to inflate tires; the need to replace lights, a lens or a reflector; a twistlock or safety lock inspection or a safety latch replacement; a simple confirmation of federal or State inspection stickers; or the reapplication of an SMC inspection sticker that has not expired.
