NHTSA Enforcement Guidance Bulletin 2016-01; Guidance on Submission and Treatment of Manufacturer Communications to Dealers, Owners, or Purchasers About a Defect or Noncompliance

Riepilogo

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is issuing this notice to make manufacturers aware of the statutory requirement to index their communications to dealers, owners, or purchasers about a defect or noncompliance, and to provide recommendations for complying with the index requirement. Additionally, a change in the law requires NHTSA to publicly post all such communications on its Web site and it is therefore providing notice of its intention to do so. NHTSA will also publicly post on its Web site the manufacturers' indexes to their communications as they are received.
