NHTSA investigates safety defects in motor vehicles; sets and enforces fuel economy standards; helps states and local communities reduce the threat of impaired drivers; promotes the use of safety belts, child safety seats and air bags; investigates odometer fraud; establishes and enforces vehicle anti-theft regulations; and provides consumer information on motor vehicle safety issues. The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, 49 U.S.C. 30101, et. seq., as amended (the Safety Act), requires a motor vehicle manufacturer to notify the owners and purchasers of its vehicles of a safety-related defect, or that the vehicle does not comply with an applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standard.1 A vehicle manufacturer must provide notice of a recall, in a manner prescribed through 1 49 E:\FR\FM\25JYN1.SGM U.S.C. 30118. 25JYN1
