Synopsis "Motor Vehicle Safety: Passive Restraints Needed to Make Light Trucks Safer: Rced-90-56"
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) activities regarding light truck safety. GAO found that: (1) NHTSA estimated that passive restraints in light trucks could save 1,500 lives annually; (2) NHTSA light truck data for 1982 through 1987 show a 22-percent increase in fatalities; (3) restraints would provide significant benefits, since 65 percent of light truck fatalities occurred from accidents in which the occupants were ejected; (4) NHTSA data also showed that light truck occupants tended not to use their manual belts; (5) only one of five major automobile manufacturers had plans to provide passive restraints for light trucks in the near future; (6) light truck manufacturers cited technical problems in installing passive restraints, and proposed a phased-in approach for passive restraints; (7) a major air bag supplier stated that it would need 2 to 3 years to expand its manufacturing capacity to meet a mandated passive restraint requirement; (8) NHTSA was developing a rule for requiring passive restraints in light trucks, but needed to avoid undue delays in establishing the requirement; (9) by October 1989, NHTSA had applied eight car standards to light trucks; and (10) NHTSA implemented new manual restraint testing, extended rear-seat restraint requirements for light trucks, and was studying the feasibility of additional rollover safety standards.
