NHTSA Revives Consumer Car Safety Info Collection Regulations
Published Date: 1/20/2026
Notice
Summary
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) wants to bring back a previously approved form that collects info from the public about car safety rules. This affects car makers and anyone involved in sharing consumer info, with no new costs but a chance to comment by March 23, 2026. It’s all about keeping safety info clear and up-to-date without adding extra hassle.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Manufacturers Must Submit Safety Info
Vehicle and slide-in camper manufacturers must submit two copies of the consumer information required by 49 CFR 575.103 and 575.105 to NHTSA at least 90 days before that information is first provided for examination by prospective purchasers.
Estimated Industry Burden and Annual Cost
NHTSA estimates the collection will involve about 35 distinct motor vehicle and camper respondents, roughly 15 submissions per year, 300 total annual burden hours, and an estimated total annual cost of $2,137,418 (including $1,579,550 for label printing and $540,432 for label affixing).
Labeling and Owner Manual Info Required
Manufacturers must affix labels to slide-in campers with identification, cargo weight rating, and longitudinal center-of-gravity limits, and must place rollover warning labels for certain utility vehicles in a prominent location and include related information in the owner's manual.
