Spartan Motors is spearheading efforts to increase awareness of reporting obligations set forth by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, while promoting a more transparent and proactive approach to vocational motor vehicle safety in the markets it serves.
“Vocational vehicle manufacturers have the same responsibility as other vehicle manufacturers to adhere to NHTSA’s reporting requirements and to act in a timely manner to report safety-related defects and non-compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards,” Spartan Product Safety and Compliance Manager Wes Chestnut said.
On May 4, Spartan Motors will further extend its expertise as the RV Industry Association hosts a complimentary NHTSA Reporting Seminar, at the RV/MH Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Ind.
The session will educate both RV industry suppliers and OEM vehicle manufacturers on the specific regulatory reporting requirements imposed on the RV industry, followed by a detailed review of each requirement, including who is obligated under law to comply.
A panel, featuring Chestnut and York, alongside other industry experts, will discuss how manufacturers and their suppliers should coordinate to address their respective regulatory obligations.
