A typo almost removed some US seat belt rules. Regulators fixed it.
What happened
US auto safety regulators fixed an error in a rule about how car seat belts attach. This means some specific design requirements for seat belt anchorages will remain in effect, rather than being accidentally removed.
Why it matters
A previous rule meant to cut 'unnecessary' text almost removed actual safety requirements for how seat belts attach. This correction ensures those specific requirements stay on the books. Car manufacturers must still follow them.
The signal
This correction ensures existing rules stay in place. There is no new behavior to watch for.
