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 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 1-800-424-9393 (or 202-366-0123 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.
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.
