Doesn CU already test and rate vehicles for their rollover propensity?
CU’s dynamic tests evaluate a vehicle’s “emergency handling” characteristics, not its rollover propensity per se. However, CU’s tests provide a reliable basis for supporting our judgment that a vehicle that tips up severely during the CU avoidance maneuver tests exhibits dangerous behavior. Of the 120 vehicles put through the CU short course since 1988, three have tipped so severely as to have been judged Not Acceptable.
