distribute a vehicle manufactured on or after January 1,2007, containing
mercury-added vehicle switches;
(2)
No person shall sell or offer to sell or distribute a mercury-added vehicle
switch for new installation in a vehicle;
(3) If a mercury-added switch in a vehicle in
commerce requires replacement, it shall be replaced with a non-mercury
alternative, if such an alternative is commercially available. If the
mercury-added vehicle switch requiring replacement is a component of an
anti-lock braking system or an airbag, replacement with a non-mercury
alternative shall not be required. The commercial availability of a non-mercury
vehicle switch for a particular vehicle may be determined by consulting
information published (electronically on internet web pages and on paper) by
the Department, vehicle manufacturers and/or their trade associations, and the
automotive industry trade press.
