If NHTSA receives similar com-
plaints, it may open an investiga-
tion, and if it finds that a safety 
defect exists in a group of vehicles, 
it may order a recall and remedy 
campaign. However, NHTSA can-
not become involved in individual 
problems between you, your dealer, 
or Lexus Division of Toyota Motor 
Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
To contact NHTSA, you may call 
the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free 
at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-

Dommages et usure de la ceinture de 

sécurité

Vérifiez périodiquement le système de 

ceintures de sécurité. Vérifiez qu’il n’y a 

pas de coupures, d’effilochures ni de 

pièces desserrées. N’utilisez pas une 

ceinture de sécurité endommagée avant 

qu’elle ne soit remplacée. Les ceintures 

de sécurité endommagées ne peuvent 

pas protéger les occupants contre les 

blessures graves, voire mortelles.
