Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Child Restraint Systems; Child Restraint Systems Recordkeeping Requirements
 

This regulation amends Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child restraint systems," to permit information regarding online product registration to be included on the owner registration form required under the standard. Grantees and delegate agencies will benefit from this amendment because it enhances the opportunity for grantees and delegate to register their restraints online, which may increase registration rates and the effectiveness of recall campaigns. The final rule also better enables manufacturers to supplement (but not replace) recall notification via first-class mail with e-mail notification, which increases the likelihood that owners learn of a recall. The agency is also requiring that the telephone number required on child restraint labels for the purpose of enabling consumers to register by telephone be a U.S. number.
