NHTSA Civil Penalty Payments

Lists of all Civil Penalties payments collected by NHTSA, exclusive of penalties for exceeding Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) levels

The Vehicle Safety Act provides for civil penalties for certain violations and authorizes NHTSA to enter into settlements on penalties. See 49 USC 30165. In addition to Vehicle Safety Act civil penalties, the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act of 2009 (CARS Act) and its implementing regulations also provide for civil penalties. These are also included.
