Summary

Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation Act - Amends Federal transportation law to require a manufacturer, not later than five days after determining (or after receiving notification that the government of a foreign country has determined) to conduct a safety recall or other safety campaign in a foreign country on a motor vehicle, tire, or motor vehicle equipment that is also offered for sale in the United States, to report such determination to the Secretary of Transportation. Sets forth similar requirements with respect to the reporting of possible defects in such vehicle or equipment that have resulted in a significant number of serious injuries or fatalities in a foreign country. Directs the Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to promulgate a rule requiring manufacturers of tires to report periodically to the Administration data on claims submitted to it for personal injury (including death) and property damage from alleged defects in the manufacturer's tires. Declares that a remedy provided without charge by a dealer of new motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment does not apply if such vehicle or replacement equipment was bought by the first purchaser more than eight years, or the tire (including an original equipment tire), was bought by the first purchaser more than five years (currently, three years), before notice of a defect or of noncompliance with motor vehicle safety standards with respect to such equipment is given by the manufacturer to the Secretary or an order is issued by the Secretary with respect to such defect or noncompliance, whichever is earlier. Revises provisions to increase civil penalties for a manufacturer, distributor, or dealer who violates requirements prohibiting the manufacture, sale, or importation of motor vehicles and equipment that do not comply with Federal motor vehicle safety standards. Sets forth a civil penalty for such persons who violate certain inspection, investigation, and records requirements with respect to such standards. Requires the Administrator to conduct a rulemaking to revise and update the tire standard published at 49 CFR 571.109 and 49 CFR 571.119. Authorizes appropriations to the Office of Defects and Investigation of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
