Consumer information and Reporting safety defects

Reporting safety defects (USA)

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect

which could cause a crash or could cause in-

jury or death, you should immediately inform

the National Highway Traffic Safety Admin-

istration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying

Subaru of America, Inc.

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

dealer, or Subaru of America, Inc. To con-

tact 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.
