REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS IN THE UNITED STATES
• If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could cause a collision or cause injury ordeath, 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.
In Canada
• If you believe that your vehicle has a safety defect, you should contact the Customer Service Department immediately. Canadian customers who wish to report a safety
defect to the Canadian government should contact Transport Canada, Motor Vehicle
Defect Investigations and Recalls at 1-800-333-0510 or go to http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/
