SAFE Exit Act of 2026

Summary

The SAFE Exit Act would amend federal vehicle safety law to require every new vehicle with an electronic door latch to include a power‑independent manual release for each door. It applies to manufacturers of new motor vehicles and aims to ensure occupants can exit quickly even when the vehicle’s electrical system is dead. The rule would also set labeling and performance standards and give emergency responders a way to access the cabin without power.
