Ahh, so the US *can* declare vehicles too dangerous for public use -- but only if it's a niche product (in this case, one involved in 4 deaths over 3 years).

It still won't touch the oversized trucks/SUVs that endanger all Americans who walk, bike, or use a smaller car.

@davidzipper Exactly, recall every 4 wheel vehicle which has 4 or more fatalities. I don't know why bike lane detection is not mandatory on all new vehicles at this point which prevents a driver from mindlessly veering into an occupied bike lane. Recently a woman with a funny hat was blocking her range of view as she veered toward me in a bike lane and she could not see me and did not even turn her head to check. How about banning hats while driving?
