NHTSA CONCEALS VOLVO-FORD ROOF CRUSH DOCS
Documents showing a conflict between the positions of Ford and its subsidiary, Volvo, concerning the need for and feasibility of roof crush prevention measures, have been removed from a public docket by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at the request of Volvo. The documents were in evidence during a Florida injury lawsuit involving roof crush to a Ford Explorer during a rollover. Visit this Department of Transportation site for information about the submission of the documents to the docket, which involves NHTSA’s current proposal to amend its roof crush standard, FMVSS 216, and for examples of press coverage of the matter. For NHTSA’s action withdrawing the documents, go to this DOT site.Posted by MVHAP at November 15, 2005 10:50 AM
