Rollover Resistance. Final Policy Statement.
(posted 10/7/2003)
- [Docket No. NHTSA-2001- 9663; Notice 3], RIN 2127-AI81
The Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation Act
of 2000 requires NHTSA to develop a dynamic test on rollovers by motor vehicles for the
purposes of a consumer information program, to carry out a program of conducting such tests,
and, as these tests are being developed, to conduct a rulemaking to determine how best to
disseminate test results to the public. This document modifies NHTSA’s rollover resistance
ratings in its New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) to include dynamic rollover tests after
considering comments to our previous document. The changes described in this document will
improve consumer information provided by NHTSA, but will not place regulatory requirements
on vehicle manufacturers.
