NHTSA Receives Petition for Importation of Nonconforming Mercedes Benz S-Class Cars

Summary

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has accepted a petition from Mercedes Benz to allow the importation of 2002-2004 S-Class (220) passenger cars that do not meet all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards, as they are substantially similar to previously certified vehicles and can be easily modified to comply with US regulations.
