This blog is not affiliated with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in any way, shape, or form. Information is taken from the publicly viewable NHTSA Database. Crash tests posted on this blog were conducted between May 21, 1979 and August 17, 1989 at a speed of 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour) into a solid wall with dummies restrained by the vehicle safety belt system. Tests were conducted on the model year vehicle listed in the post and may or may not be accurate for a differing model year. Injury measures are likely accurate to a plus or minus 2% range - for example, a 26% risk of injury is likely in the 24-28% range. The five star system used for 2010 and earlier crash tests is used.

Injury risk:
10% or less - 5 star rating
11% - 20% - 4 star rating
21% - 35% - 3 star rating
36% - 45% - 2 star rating
46% or more - 1 star rating

December 25, 2013 Update 2

As far as my knowledge, I have posted 192 crash tests with 128 remaining. Most of the 1986 model year - 19 of 27 tests - remain, as do 1987's 37 tests, 1988's 36, and 1989's 36. After these tests are posted, I will re-post the 1979, 1980, 1981, and early 1982 tests individually, as opposed to the model year groupings they are in currently. This is to make the tests easier to find. The individually posted tests were posted starting on December 15, 2013, with 1982 model year tests conducted from September 1982 on.
