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

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investi-
gation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of
vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. How-
ever, NHTSA cannot get involved in individual problems
between you, your Peterbilt Dealer, and Peterbilt Motors
Company.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hot-
line toll-free at 1–800–424–9393 (366–0123 in Washington,
D.C.) or write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street,

mation about auto safety from the Hotline.
