Honda Civic not compliant with USA safety standards – what to do?

[Vox 0]

Well, I am gonna be entering the states on K1 and aplying for Canadian EI in the first few days, I can still receive it as long as K1 is valid; once I apply for AOS and EAD arrives, it will continue until I find a job – as simple as that.

Keep in mind it takes awhile for EI to kick in. Can't recall how long, been awhile since I received it.

The DOT Sticker will state that the vehicle meets or exceeds NHTSA Standards. It may be on the same sticker or a seperate sticker.

In any case, The 1997 Civic was recalled in the US for defective passenger side airbags lol.. thats kind of ironic don't you think?

That is so ironic!

I checked my sticker and it complies with the CMVSS and the NSVACC standards; according to this document (as far as I see), I can still import it, I just need a freaking letter from Honda.
