Reporting Safety Defects

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 Mazda Motor Corporation (Your Mazda 
Importer/Distributor).

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 Mazda Motor Corporation (Your Mazda Importer/Distributor).

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1 (800) 424-
9393 (or 366-0123 in 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.
