The Commerce Department/BIS final rule prohibits specified connected-vehicle hardware and covered software transactions tied to the PRC or Russia, including imports and sales of completed connected vehicles using such covered software. The rule took effect March 17, 2025.

Federal restrictions on Chinese-connected vehicle technologies were finalized after the campaign period, supporting only partial fulfillment because the rule covers key connected vehicle software/hardware but not every vehicle class.

BIS narrowed the final rule to vehicles under 10,001 pounds and stated that vehicles over 10,000 pounds, largely the commercial vehicle market, would be addressed in a later rulemaking.

The final rule did not satisfy the promise's 'across all vehicle classes' language because commercial/heavier vehicles were excluded pending a future rule.

BIS summarizes the rule as applying to vehicles under 10,001 pounds, with model year 2027 restrictions for covered software and PRC/Russia-linked manufacturers, and model year 2030 restrictions for VCS hardware imports.

The live agency guidance confirms the rule is active but limited to lighter vehicles and phased implementation, making the promise only partially delivered as of July 2, 2026.

The White House said Commerce issued a final rule prohibiting sale and import of covered connected vehicle systems from the PRC and Russia, but also stated the rule applies only to passenger vehicles and Commerce intended a later rulemaking for commercial connected vehicles over 10,000 pounds.

The administration action accelerated restrictions on Chinese-connected vehicle technology but explicitly left commercial vehicle classes for future action.

Senators Moreno and Slotkin introduced the Connected Vehicle Security Act of 2026 to prohibit import, sale, manufacture, and operation of vehicles manufactured in China or countries of concern and to ban Chinese-developed connected vehicle software and data systems on U.S. roads.

A 2026 bill sought to expand and codify broader restrictions, but it was introduced by senators other than Stephen Lynch and this source does not show enactment or Lynch action.

The one-pager says the bill would prohibit importation, integration, manufacture, sale, and resale of connected vehicles, software, and hardware linked to China or other foreign adversaries, with software restrictions in 2027 and hardware restrictions in 2030.

The proposed legislation matches the promise more closely than the existing BIS rule, but it is evidence of a pending legislative proposal, not a completed restriction or a Lynch-led action.
