NHTSA Receives Petition for Importation of Nonconforming Mercedes Benz CL500 and CL600 Cars

Summary

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has accepted a petition from Mercedes Benz to allow the importation of 1999-2001 CL500 and CL600 models that do not meet all federal safety standards, as they are substantially similar to US-certified vehicles and can be easily modified to comply with regulations.
