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 2005 and 2006 S-Class models manufactured before September 1, 2006, that do not meet all federal safety standards, as they are substantially similar to US-certified versions and can be easily modified to comply.
