Not tested by NHTSA

The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

FUEL:FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY:TANK
|
|
Description:
|
Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles. The evaporative emission control systems can apply excessive vacuum to the fuel tanks during the canister purge cycle. If excessive vacuum is applied, minor fuel tank distortion can result. A small crack could develop on the upper fuel tank surface. The ""Check Engine"" light would then illuminate and, in some cases, the vehicle driver may notice a gasoline odor. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. Dealers will pressure check the vehicle's fuel tank to determine if it has cracked. If the fuel tank has cracked, it will be replaced.

VISUAL SYSTEMS:WINDSHIELD WIPER:MOTOR
|
|
Description:
|
The windshield wiper motor circuit breaker electrical contacts were contaminated during assembly. This contamination interferes with the electrical circuit continuity and prevents the windshield wiper motor from operating. Inoperative windshield wipers can contribute to reduced visibility during inclement weather increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Dealers will remove the contaminants from the windshield wiper motor circuit breaker contacts.
