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 inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminis-
tration (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 studio 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 obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from
