Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems; Correction

الملخص

On June 5, 2002, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published a final rule amending the standard on controls and displays, adding a new standard on tire pressure monitoring systems, and amending and re-titling a part on tire pressure monitoring system phase-in reporting requirements. The final rule included a phase-in schedule for compliance with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) standard for manufacturers of passenger cars, trucks, multipurpose passenger vehicles, and buses with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or less, except those vehicles with dual wheels on an axle. This document corrects NHTSA's inadvertent omission of a provision excluding final-stage manufacturers and alterers from compliance with the TPMS requirements of these standards until the end of the phase-in period (i.e., November 1, 2006).
