This document implements section 8 of the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation Act (TREAD Act) and section 2504 of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) by adding regulations that limit the sale or lease of noncompliant and defective motor vehicles and items of motor vehicle equipment.
