The
U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) today announced rollover ratings for the
remainder of its 2004 test series. The agency also released comparative
rankings for all 2004 vehicles tested.
NHTSA
uses a 5-star ranking system to rate a vehicle on its likelihood to
rollover in a single vehicle crash.
The
agency also unveiled an enhanced scoring system that will provide
consumers with valuable new rollover information. In addition to the
star rating used to rank a vehicle’s likelihood of rollover in a
single vehicle crash, NHTSA also reports the percent chance of rollover
and how the vehicle ranks in its class.
These
additional pieces of information will aid consumers when comparing
vehicles with similar rollover star ratings. The new consumer-friendly
format can be seen at: www.safercar.gov
A
fact sheet containing explanatory information and tables showing
rollover rating results for all 2004 vehicles tested can be obtained by
calling the NHTSA Auto Safety Hotline, 1-888-327-4236.
