REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS IN THE 50 UNITED STATES AND
WASHINGTON, D.C.
•
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could cause a collision or cause injury or
death, you should immediately informthe National HighwayTraffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) in addition to notifying the manufacturer.
• If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a
safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.
However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your
authorized dealer and the manufacturer.
•
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll free at 1–888–327–4236
(TTY: 1–800–424– 9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to: Administrator,
NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., West Building, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also
