For the Toyota Highlander and the Chrysler PT Cruiser, the agency noted fuel leakages following the tests. A fuel leakage during or following a crash could create a fire hazard. NHTSA shared these results with Toyota and Chrysler. On August 1, 2002 Toyota issued a recall for 154,593 affected 2001-2002 Highlander vehicles to rotate the clamp that caused the leak. Chrysler issued a recall on August 12, 2002 to install a seal on over 345,000 affected 2001-2002 PT Cruiser vehicles.

“I am very pleased that both Toyota and Chrysler have voluntarily agreed to recall all affected vehicles,” said NHTSA Administrator Jeffrey W. Runge, M.D. “Fuel leakage is a safety concern that could have serious consequences.”

The New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) reports crash test results in a range of one to five stars, with five stars showing the best safety protection for vehicles. Frontal tests should be compared only within the same weight class.

The 2003 Cadillac CTS four-door sedan, Pontiac Vibe four-door wagon, Toyota Camry four-door sedan, Toyota Matrix four-door wagon, and the Honda Pilot 4x4 four-door utility are also rated.

The NCAP side impact ratings result in one to five stars based upon the chest measurement, with five stars being the highest rating. Scores can be compared across the vehicle weight classes.
