Recommendation, verbatim from the inquiry

●Inquiry recommendation

In the case of Turbos, the enhancement of end pillar weld connections, the possible enhancement of crashworthiness by weakening the ends and strengthening the saloon of the cars, and the fitting of shear-out couplers and anti-overriding devices should be considered, subject to an assessment of feasibility, costs and benefits, with a view to possible retro-fitting (para 13.5).
