Tire Safety Information
Document Number: 05-5580
Type: Rule
Date: 2005-03-22
Agency: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Department of Transportation
In November 2002, NHTSA published a final rule establishing, among other things, new tire safety information labeling requirements for vehicles. In June 2004, we published a final rule (June 2004 final rule) responding to petitions for reconsideration on a variety of issues, and made certain amendments to the new vehicle labeling requirements. The new tire safety information labeling requirements for vehicles become effective September 1, 2005. This document responds to petitions for reconsideration of the June 2004 final rule requesting further changes to the vehicle labeling requirements. After carefully considering the petitions, the agency is modifying certain aspects of these requirements by allowing the option of including selected additional information.
Grant of Application of American Suzuki Motorcycle Corporation for Renewals of Temporary Exemptions From Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 123
Document Number: 05-5579
Type: Notice
Date: 2005-03-22
Agency: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Department of Transportation
This notice grants the application by a motorcycle manufacturer, American Suzuki Motorcycle Corporation (Suzuki) for renewals of temporary exemptions from a provision in the Federal motor vehicle safety standard on motorcycle controls and displays specifying that a motorcycle rear brake, if provided, must be controlled by a right foot control. We are permitting Suzuki to use the left handlebar as an alternative location for the rear brake control. Suzuki has asserted that ``compliance with the standard would prevent the manufacturer from selling a motor vehicle with an overall level of safety at least equal to the overall safety level of nonexempt vehicles.''
