Reporting Safety Defects

             Reporting  Safety  Defects  (U.S.A.)

    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 Traffi c 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 fi nds 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 call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-
4236 (TTY:1-800-424-9153); go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to: Administrator, 
NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC, 20590. You can also obtain other 
information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.safercar.gov.
