Abstract:The consumer cost and weight effect on 1983 vehicles, to comply with FMVSS 201, 203, and 204 as determined by a process of teardown analysis of those components affected by the Standards.
The Standards cover: FMVSS 201 - Occupant Protection in Interior Impact, Volume I; FMVSS 203 - Impact Protection for the Driver from the Steering Control System, Volume II; and, FMVSS 204 - Steering Control Rearward Displacement, Volume III. A pre, post and trend cost and weight effect of complying with FMVSS 210 as determined by detail analysis of those components affected.
The cars selected for this study were to be high volume representatives of all the various size classifications and, as near as possible, carry-over models or direct descendants of those in previous related studies. The sampling also includes cars downsized by weight reductions, recently redesigned smaller, more efficient vehicles with four and six cylinder engines, rack and pinion steering and front wheel drive.
