The National Parts Return Program involves the voluntary submittal by independent automotive repair shops of failed automotive components. The purpose of this program is to gather information on these components to assist the NHTSA in identifying the existence of safety-related manufacturing defects in design, materials, construction, or performance of motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment. Under authority of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, as amended, the NHTSA can require manufacturers to conduct safety defect recall remedy compaigns when it has been determined that a defect relating to motor vehicle safety exists. In addition, the information obtained from these parts is also valuable in preparing Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. (DePo)
