Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards No. 216; Roof Crush Resistance, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 216a; Roof Crush Resistance; Upgraded Standard

On May 30, 2025, NHTSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to remove the obsolete Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 216, related to roof crush resistance. The agency received one comment, but the comment is not within the scope of the proposed rule. Therefore, the agency is removing the obsolete FMVSS No. 216 as proposed.
