TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: Your request for information concerning the existence of penalties for removal of the required certification label from a motor vehicle has been forwarded to us by the Federal Trade Commission.

The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act requires that a certification label, which under NHTSA regulations includes the name of the manufacturer and the date of manufacture, be permanently affixed to the motor vehicle. Although removal of this lable does not carry a criminal penalty of either fine or imprisonment, a civil penalty of up to $ 1,000 is specified in certain situations.
