WASHINGTON, DC (06.12.26) – In a groundbreaking first, legislation endorsed by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) to protect vehicle owners’ right to modify their cars and trucks is advancing out of committee and heading to a full vote in the U.S. House of Representatives. The House Committee on Energy and Commerce passed H.R. 7389, Motor Vehicle Modernization Act of 2026, Section 221 of which is an amended version of the bipartisan, SEMA-backed ADAS Functionality and Integrity Act. The bill would ensure that vehicle owners and the automotive aftermarket industry have necessary information needed to ensure advanced safety systems continue to operate as intended after common modifications of cars and trucks, including the addition of wraps, bumpers with winches, or even bike racks.

• The ADAS Functionality and Integrity Act (Section 221) directs the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to study the impact of common vehicle modifications on ADAS and empowers the agency to develop data-driven guidelines that specify how much a vehicle can be modified without compromising ADAS functionality.

“This is an important day for vehicle owners, the automotive aftermarket, and our collective efforts to ensure all vehicles are as safe as their technology intends,” said SEMA Senior Vice President-Public & Government Affairs Karen Bailey-Chapman. “Americans deserve the protection that advanced safety systems enable, especially when they modify their vehicles to support their businesses, family needs, and recreation choices. SEMA is thrilled that this bill will receive important consideration by the full House of Representatives, and we look to keeping it moving all the way to the Senate, and, eventually, President Donald Trump.”

ABOUT THE BILL

• Sec. 221 of H.R. 7389 requires NHTSA to study the impact that common modifications have on ADAS calibration, and it empowers the agency to establish ADAS guidelines to create modification ranges and tolerances for new vehicles based on the results of the study.
• Sec. 221 (a)(1) provides NHTSA with 18 months to complete a study and publish a report on its website that reviews the impact of vehicle modifications on ADAS functionality.
• NHTSA’s study must look at the 10 most common vehicle modifications and look at how they impact a vehicle’s ADAS performance.
• The report must provide information necessary to create industry guidelines, including allowable modification ranges and vehicle tolerances, taking into consideration ride height, wheel and tire dimensions, and sensor and camera function.
• NHTSA also would be required to review the information necessary to develop guidelines for proper calibration procedures of ADAS and other vehicle dynamics systems following modification and customization.
• Sec. 221 (b) of H.R. 7389 provides NHTSA with two years after publishing a report as required by (a) to issue ADAS guidelines if the agency determines that they are feasible and practical. It also enables NHTSA to develop a process for automakers to provide the agency with modification ranges for their vehicles.

BACKGROUND
As ADAS features become increasingly offered in new vehicles, they present both opportunities and challenges for vehicle owners and aftermarket businesses that modify vehicles in common ways, such as installing a wrap, an aftermarket bumper or winch, a bike rack, lifting a vehicle to navigate tough terrain, or installing larger tires to adapt to weather conditions. ADAS technologies, such as automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning and forward-collision warning, add complexity when vehicles are repaired or modified.

Currently, there are no standards to properly calibrate the sensors and cameras that support ADAS features after a vehicle has been customized or modified.

Beginning in model year 2029, all new passenger cars and light trucks must be equipped with certain ADAS technology, specifically automatic emergency braking under NHTSA’s FMVSS 127 rulemaking. The ADAS Functionality and Integrity Act is critical to ensure that these advanced safety systems continue to work properly, even after vehicles are repaired or modified, and that pathways to compliance are clear as ADAS becomes standard on every vehicle.

SEMA has invested over $25 million in its SEMA Garage program to help the aftermarket stay ahead of rapidly evolving vehicle technology. With facilities in Diamond Bar, Calif., and Plymouth, Mich., the SEMA Garages provide advanced tools, OEM data, and dedicated ADAS labs that support product development and groundbreaking research on how modifications affect modern safety systems.

To better understand the landscape of ADAS calibration and the impact of modifications on these systems, the SEMA Garage has hosted dozens of professionals from the customization, collision, and repair industries for a symposium to address the most growing and pressing challenges associated with ADAS calibrations, creating a clear, industry-wide roadmap to ensure ADAS functions safely and reliably in every vehicle.

Based on its rigorous research, SEMA released a series of white papers examining how aftermarket modifications affect ADAS performance across popular vehicles, including the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Ford F-150, Ford Bronco, Toyota Tacoma, and the Ram 1500. The research provides clear, data-driven insight into how changes such as lift kits, wheels, and suspension components influence sensor reliability. This research helps manufacturers, installers, and enthusiasts understand when recalibration is needed to preserve full ADAS functionality.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 10, 2026) –The public is overwhelmingly in support of providing the U.S. military with the right to repair their equipment and vehicles, according to a new survey commissioned by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA). According to the survey, 78.9% of respondents support the military’s ability to repair their own equipment. When asked about the Warrior Right to Repair Act, bipartisan legislation under consideration by Congress for inclusion in the National Defense Authorization Act that would provide the military with the right to repair, 73.5% of voters said they would support the legislation.

The survey also includes the first-ever assessment of the public’s opinions of battlefield modifications of military equipment, an associated issue raised recently by military leaders during congressional testimony. When presented with a question on the necessity of adapting equipment to meet evolving battlefield conditions, 72.4% of voters agree that military personnel should have the authority to modify their equipment, not just repair.

The survey was commissioned by SEMA from May 14-17, with a +/- 2.9% margin of error. The survey sample was 1,090, with the exception of the question on modification, for which the sample size was 1,168. This survey was conducted online by occam™ by AlphaROC.

“The data reveals an overwhelming, unambiguous public mandate: Americans strongly believe the U.S. military should have the right to repair its own equipment,” wrote SEMA Political Director Lauren Wilbor. “Voters express deep concern over both taxpayer costs and defense contractor lobbying, along with impacts on military readiness.”

SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS

• Strong bipartisan support for military right to repair, with 84.1% of Republicans, 78.2% of Democrats and 76.2% of Independents in support of allowing the military to repair its own equipment.
• Military right to repair remains a “silent issue,” with 76.5% of voters unaware of contract rules that restrict military units from repairing their own equipment.
• Voters demand common sense on the battlefield, with 66.5% stating their belief that if a military vehicle breaks down in a combat zone, service members should be allowed to repair it in the field.
• Conversely, just 10% of respondents believe military units should be required to wait for manufacturer-authorized technicians.
• Voters, when educated on the outcome of previous attempts to provide the military with the right to repair, overwhelmingly (71.8%) expressed concern with how defense contracting decisions are made.
