NHTSA Receives Petition for Importation of Nonconforming Mercedes Benz S500 and S600 Passenger Cars

Summary

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has accepted a petition from Mercedes Benz to allow the importation of 2000-2001 S500 and S600 models that do not meet all federal safety standards, as they are substantially similar to US-certified vehicles and can be modified to comply with regulations.
