NHTSA Receives Petition for Importation of Nonconforming 1979-1980 Volkswagen Transporter MPVs

Summary

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has accepted a petition from Volkswagen to allow the importation of 1979-1980 Volkswagen Transporter Multipurpose Passenger Vehicles (MPVs) that do not meet all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards, as they are substantially similar to US-certified vehicles and can be easily modified to comply with safety regulations.
