Title: 49 CFR Part 577 Defect and Noncompliance Notification | |
Abstract:
Under the agency's regulation, 49 CFR part 577, NHTSA requires manufacturers of motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment to inform owners, dealers, and distributors about defects related to motor vehicle safety or a noncompliance with the federal motor vehicle safety standards. In MAP-21 Congress authorized the Secretary of Transportation to amend the means of notification required under 49 U.S.C. section 30118, to be in a manner other than, or in addition to, first class mail. Subsequently, section 24104 of the FAST Act required the Secretary to issue a rule requiring notification by electronic means in addition to notification by first class mail.” MAP-21 also authorized the Secretary of Transportation to improve the efficacy of recalls by requiring manufacturers to send additional notifications of defects or noncompliance if a second notification by the manufacturer does not result in an adequate number of motor vehicles or replacement equipment being returned for remedy. 49 U.S.C. section 30119(e). |
