Reporting Safety Defects
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 notifying MDC
Caravans and Campers INC.
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 Market Direct Group.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-
4249153), go to http://www.nhtsa.gov; or write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street. SE., Washington,
DC 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.nhtsa.gov. Call 1-

Tow vehicle and Trailer Compatibility
Your tow vehicle manufacturer has applied a maximum towing capacity to the vehicle which is the Gross Trailer
Weight (GTW) and a maximum Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR). These specifications MUST NOT be
exceeded. It is your responsibility to know, understand and follow these specifications. Vehicle manufacturers
may also specify or recommend “Weight Distribution Bars” when towing under certain conditions. You MUST
ensure this is compatible with the vehicle and trailer combination.
DANGER – Exceeding manufacturer weight and combination limits can result in loss of control leading to death
or serious injury. Your tow vehicle and hitch must be rated for the Gross Vehicle Weight of the trailer.
