This downloadable Manufacturer Communications Index Excel template should be used when submitting by email and is in addition to NHTSA Enforcement Guidance Bulletin 2016-01 Guidance on Submission and Treatment of Manufacturer Communications to Dealers, Owners, or Purchasers about a Defect or Noncompliance 81 Fed. The index must identify the make, model, and model year for vehicles, and similar identifiers for child restraints/seats, equipment, and tires. To be accepted via email, all manufacturer communication submissions must include an index file. Email SubmissionsĪlthough NHTSA strongly recommends using the MCP for manufacturer communication submissions, manufacturers may also submit their manufacturer communications via email. NHTSA encourages manufacturers to use the “nothing to report” option to indicate that the manufacturer has reviewed their records and does not have anything that requires reporting. As of December 2020, the MCP has two new features that allow companies to add a manufacturer communication while waiting for new products to be added, as well as to indicate there is nothing to report for that month. The MCP eliminates the need for manufacturers to build the required index file themselves, instead collecting the required information via an online form. The MCP is an online application that allows manufacturers to submit their communications. NHTSA encourages all manufacturers to submit their manufacturer communications using the MCP. Using the Manufacturer Communications Portal is the easiest and best method to submit manufacturer communications. There are two ways manufacturers can submit their manufacturer communications.
