Reporting Safety Defects in the U.S.
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 Volvo Cars of North America. 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 Volvo Cars of North America. To contact NHTSA, you may either call the
Auto Safety Hotline tollfree at 18004249393 (or 202-3660123 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.
Volvo strongly recommends that if your vehicle is covered under a service campaign,
safety or emission recall or similar action, it should be completed as soon as possible.
Please check with your local retailer or Volvo Cars of North America, Inc. if your vehicle
is covered under these conditions.
