REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS IN THE UNITED STATES

• 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 Administra-
tion (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 obtain
other information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.safercar.gov.
