Reporting Safety Defects (Usa) - Subaru 1998 Legacy Owner's Manual

Reporting safety defects (USA)

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a
crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately in-
form the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
in addition to notifying Subaru of America, Inc.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investiga-
tion, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of ve-
hicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However,
NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between
you, your dealer, or Subaru of America, Inc. To contact NHTSA,
you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at
1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in the Washington D.C. area) or
write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington,
D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor
vehicle safety from the Hotline.
