Installation Notice
According to Federal Law (49 cfr part 571), each
final-stage manufacturer shall complete the vehicle
in such a manner that it conforms to the standards in
effect on the date of manufacture of the incomplete
vehicle, the date of final completion, or a date
between those two dates. This requirement shall,
however, be superseded by any conflicting provisions
of a standard that applies by its terms to vehicles
manufactured in two or more stages.

compliance with all applicable federal and state
regulations. They are required to certify that the
vehicle is in compliance with the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards and other regulations issued
under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety
Act.
