Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Side Impact Protection; Fuel System Integrity

Краткое содержание

Pursuant to the agency's grant of a petition for rulemaking from Mr. James E. Stocke, NHTSA updates the Federal motor vehicle safety standards on side impact protection and fuel system integrity by providing that radial tires of certain specifications, instead of bias ply tires, be used on the moving barriers specified in these standards. In conjunction with that update, NHTSA also deletes certain outdated or inaccurate specifications for the moving barriers in the fuel system integrity standard.
