[QUOTE="browntruckmechanic, post: 921968, member: 7010"] Ok to simplify this for the average individual to understand. 1 Any motor vehicle sold in the U.S must pass minimal DOT standards. 2. If a manufacture decides to modify the vehicle in any way that is different from the original design, said design must be approved by DOT, this includes any recalls or tsb's. especially any safety device. 3. Although the design may be a simple fix, the process of getting the design approved by DOT is rather lengthly affair due to how efficent the Govt is. 4. If a manufacture does redisign something than that would open the manufacture up to law suites from all parties involved ie... individuals, companies that purchased the car soforth. 5. As a DOT mechanic if I or any other mechanic modifies the vehicle that is not authorized by DOT and a accident happens that involves a death that I am held accountable for any and all libility in the accident to include fines and jail if so ordered by the courts, and the company would be held liable also. SO to put it simply I am not willing to give up my freedom to see my wife and to watch my kids go up. [/QUOTE]
