National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) does not test each new vehicle model every year, but a sample of new vehicles predicted to have high sales volumes or that have been structurally redesigned. It is therefore difficult to compare results to previous model years, particularly when many new models are launched. Even though our vehicles are safer than ever, our ratings are not necessarily comparable to previous years.
