Controls and Displays  
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Department of Transportation  
ACTION: Final rule; technical corrections  
SUMMARY: This documen t amends Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) Nos. 122 and 
123 to allow the use of an internationally recognized symbol. It also relocates the telltale 
specifications for anti -lock braking system (ABS) malfunction from FMVSS No. 101 to the approp riate 
table in FMVSS No. 123 since the latter applies to motorcycles. In addition, this final rule makes two 
technical corrections: It corrects motorcycle category references in S6.3.2 of FMVSS No. 122 and an 
outdated table reference found in FMVSS No. 135 .
