I alluded to Mercedes-Benz involvement in US legislative changes.
More can be found on this topic here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NHTSA
Other interesting items are the frequent head buts with French
manufactures and the DOT/NHTSA.
Citroen had issues with turning headlights, and hydropnematic
suspension. I was also told once, that Ralph Nader's liking of the
Citroen DS was a death-knell to the car in the USA.
There was something regarding Peugeot and bumpers, but I cannot locate it.
Here is the quote about the Citroen SM:
"Also in 1974, NHTSA banned the Citroen SM automobile, which
contemporary journalists noted was one of the safest vehicles
available at the time, due to a non-safety related design issue. The
law under which the SM was banned was repealed in 1981. Ford
reintroduced a similar powered suspension system to the US market in
1988 in one of its Lincoln models."
