Reporting Safety Defects

Reporting Safety Defects to the
United States Government

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which
could cause a crash or could cause injury or
death, you should immediately inform the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in
addition to notifying General Motors.

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 General Motors.

To contact NHTSA, you may call the
Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at
1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153);

or write to:

Administrator, NHTSA

Washington, D.C. 20590
