The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) conducted an investigation to ascertain why fifteen
passenger vans have a greater propensity to roll over than other similar
vehicles, i.e. mini-vans. Based on NHTSA's findings, and the companion
memorandum prepared next to it, the FVPP recommends that agencies study the
reports prior to deciding which seating configuration will best suit their
needs. Both reports may be accessed by the links below.
