Federal auto-safety regulators have taken the unusual step of removing documents on vehicle roof design from a government Web site at the request of Ford Motor Co. The material includes internal reports from Ford and its Volvo subsidiary that suggest the Swedish automaker views sturdy roofs as an important safety feature, a stance at odds with that of its parent company.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Friday removed the documents from a Web site of public comments on proposed changes in the federal standard for roof strength in passenger vehicles. Ford requested the material be removed, saying that a court order in a wrongful-death case in Florida barred their release and that the disclosure would cause "irreparable" harm and could reveal trade secrets.
