Re: [Chrysler300] Seatbelt Requirements

["John J. Hertog" <crossram@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tom,

States cannot require vehicle owners to install safety equipment that was 
not "original equipment" on vehicles.  For instance, if a car was not 
factory-equipped with ANY seat belts, the owner cannot be "forced" to put 
them in.  Same with airbags, halogen lights, radial tires,  windshield 
wipers, even turn signals.
