The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration took notice of it and began investigating if the feature affected pedestrian safety.
The NHSTA report revealed further that the Boombox feature can"enhance the conspicuity of the vehicle to pedestrians", but makes the PWS noncompliant with Clause 141, increasing the risk of collision.
