NHTSA Announces Final Rule on 2012 Light Duty Truck Lines Subject to Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard

Summary

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has determined that no new model year 2012 light duty truck lines are subject to the parts-marking requirements of the Federal motor vehicle theft prevention standard, as they are either high-theft or have interchangeable parts with passenger vehicles. The agency also identified vehicle lines exempt from the parts-marking requirements due to the presence of antitheft devices meeting specific statutory criteria.
