REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
UNITED STATES
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 Karma Automotive.
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 Retailer, or Karma
Automotive.
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:
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration
1200 New Jersey Avenue SE.
Washington, DC 20590.
You can also obtain other information
about motor vehicle safety from

CANADA
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect
which could cause a crash or could cause
injury or death, you should immediately
inform Transport Canada, in addition to
notifying Karma Automotive.
