The U.S. government's road safety agency says it is investigating allegations that Hertz rented vehicles to customers without getting required recall repairs.
The agency says that would violate the federal Motor Vehicle Safety Act. It has opened an investigation to audit Hertz's recall record. Hertz said that it's reviewing NHTSA's request for information. "We are committed to providing safe rentals for our customers," the Florida company said. NHTSA said Tuesday that it began getting information late last year that Hertz may have rented vehicles with open recalls. "Information gathered by the agency to date, including from vehicle manufacturers, suggests repairs required under multiple NHTSA safety recalls were not made prior to the rental of such affected vehicles to Hertz customers," the agency said in a prepared statement.
The measure was originally named the Raechel and Jacqueline Houck Safe Rental Car Act. The sisters were killed in a 2004 head-on crash when a power steering hose defect in a rented Chrysler PT Cruiser caused a fire and the car went out of control.Copyright © 2022 by The Associated Press.
