2021 New York Laws VAT - Vehicle and Traffic Title 4 - Registration of Vehicles Article 16 - Registration of Dealers and Transporters 416-A - Bumper Quality Label Requirements.

§ 416-a. Bumper  quality  label  requirements. 1. It shall be unlawful   after January first, nineteen hundred ninety-three for any  manufacturer   to  sell  or  lease  or  to offer to sell or lease in this state for the   purpose of registration in this  state  any  new  passenger  type  motor   vehicle  manufactured  or  assembled  after  said  date  designated as a   nineteen hundred ninety-three or subsequent model,  except  omnibus  and   multipurpose passenger vehicles, unless such vehicle has affixed thereto   a  bumper  quality  label,  placed  conspicuously  upon  that  window or   windshield where the manufacturer's suggested retail price  sticker  has   been  posted. The commissioner shall determine the size, type legibility   and placement of such label. Such  label  shall  include  the  following   information: "This vehicle is equipped with a front bumper that has been   tested  at  an impact speed of (specified by vehicle manufacturer) _____   miles per hour and a rear bumper that has been tested at an impact speed   of (specified by the vehicle manufacturer) _______ miles per  hour,  and   has  sustained no damage to the vehicle's body and minimal damage to the   bumper and attachment hardware.  Minimal  damage  to  the  bumper  means   damage  that  can  be repaired with the use of a common repair materials   and without replacing any parts.  The  stronger  the  bumper,  the  less   likely the car will require repair after a low-speed collision."2. The impact speed required to be specified in the notice pursuant to   subdivision  one of this section is the maximum speed of impact upon the   bumper of the vehicle at which the vehicle sustains  no  damage  to  the   body  and  safety  systems  and  only  minimal damage to the bumper when   subjected to the fixed barrier  and  pendulum  impact  tests,  and  when   subjected  to  the  corner impact test at not less than sixty percent of   that maximum speed, conducted pursuant to the practices, procedures  and   regulations  promulgated  under  the concurrent authority of the Federal   Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings  Act  (Cost  Savings  Act)(15   U.S.C.  1901  et seq.) and the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety   Act (15 U.S.C. 1381, et seq.)3. For purposes of this  section,  "no  damage"  means  that,  when  a   passenger  vehicle  is  subjected to applicable impact testing practices   and procedures, the exterior  surfaces  shall  have  no  separations  of   surface materials, paint, polymeric coatings or other covering materials   from  the  surface to which they are bonded, and no permanent deviations   from their original contours thirty minutes  after  completion  of  each   pendulum and barrier impact test, except where such damage occurs to the   bumper  face  bar  and  the  components  and  associated  fasteners that   directly attach the bumper face bar to the chassis frame. There shall be   no breakage or release of fasteners or joints except as described above.4. Any manufacturer who violates  subdivision  one  of  this  section,   without  just  cause,  shall be subject to a civil fine of not more than   fifty dollars per vehicle  with  respect  to  which  there  has  been  a   violation  of  this  section.    Civil  penalties so assessed may not be   deducted as an expense from any tax liability due to any local or  state   tax jurisdiction.
