REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
United States
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash, injury or death, you
should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
in addition to notifying Volvo Trucks 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
distributor, or Volvo Trucks North America.
To contact NHTSA, either call the U.S. Government’s Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free
at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to http://www.NHTSA.gov; or write to:
