NHTSA Receives Petition for Importation of Nonconforming Vespa Motorcycles

Summary

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced receipt of a petition from Vespa, requesting that the agency determine that 2004-2005 Vespa LX and PX model motorcycles, which do not meet all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards, are eligible for importation into the US due to their substantial similarity to US-certified vehicles and their potential for modification to meet safety standards.
