The NHTSA has notified two registered importers from Michigan, Bisbee Importing and Metro Auto Importer, that they would no longer be allowed to legally import vehicles into the United States through the Registered Importer program. According to the agency, the revocation is due to "serious and systemic violations of federal safety requirements."
The NHTSA also said that the two companies knowingly submitted false and misleading certifications of conformance for vehicles imported from Canada, as well as repeatedly failing to submit the required conformity packages. These compliance issues spanned multiple years and affected at least 29,000 vehicles for Bisbee and 2,900 vehicles for Metro Auto Importer.
