Reporting safety defects

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
(U.S. ONLY)

If you believe that your vehicle has
a defect that could cause a crash,
or could cause injury or death, you
should immediately inform the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) in
addition to Ford Motor Company.

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 dealer or Ford Motor
Company.

To contact NHTSA, you may either
call the Auto Safety Hotline
toll–free at 1-800-424-9393 
(202-366-0123 in the Washington
D.C. area) or write to 

NHTSA

U.S.Department of Transportation

400 Seventh Street

Washington D.C. 20590

You can also obtain other
information about motor vehicle
safety from the hotline.
