NHTSA Receives Petition for Importation of Nonconforming Mercedes-Benz S600 Cars

Summary

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has received a petition requesting that 1995-1999 Mercedes-Benz S600 passenger cars, which do not meet all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards, be eligible for importation into the US. The petition argues that these vehicles are substantially similar to those originally certified for US sale and can be modified to meet safety standards.
