They also responded to telephone calls and electronic communications. Recent congressional hearings on Toyota Motor Company’s recalls have called into question the rigor of the government’s enforcement of these standards.
NHTSA was created in 1966 to develop and enforce car safety standards with the goal of reducing deaths and injuries on America’s highways.
