AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
Ford is asking U.S. vehicle safety regulators to treat a controls-and-displays issue in certain 2022-2025 Ford Transit vehicles as too minor to require a safety remedy. The issue relates to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 101, which covers how vehicle controls and displays must be presented to drivers. This notice does not decide the issue. It opens a public comment period, giving interested parties until July 22, 2026, to submit views to NHTSA before the agency decides whether Ford’s noncompliance is insignificant for vehicle safety.
