The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued its second weekly recall list after the federal government shutdown took effect Oct. 1. The Department of Transportation said NHTSA has access to prior-year appropriations and supplemental appropriations to keep all 574 employees working during the shutdown.
The result means NHTSA will continue releasing weekly recalls through the federal government shutdown.
Additionally, all NHTSA activities funded through the Highway Trust Fund would continue during the shutdown. Fund expenditures include federal surface transportation programs.
The NHTSA recalls this week include:
