PART 10: CONSUMER INFORMATION
PB1319 (CAT. NO. 5296 ) —168— 22-01691 (R02/02)
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requires that the
following information be included in the owner’s manual of motor vehi-
cles manufactured after September 1, 1990:
NHTSA Consumer Information
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 Administration (NHTSA) in addi-
tion to notifying Peterbilt Motors 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 get
involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, and Peter-
bilt Motors Company.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-
free at 1-800-424-9393 (366-0123 in Washington, D.C.) or write to:
Administrator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.
20590. You can also get other information about auto safety from the
Hotline.
Environmental Protection
Some of the ingredients in engine oil, hydraulic oil, transmission and
axle oil, engine coolant, diesel fuel, air conditioning refrigerant (R12,
R134a, and PAG oil), batteries, etc., may contaminate the environ-
ment if spilled or not disposed of properly. Contact your local govern-
ment agency for information concerning proper disposal.
WARNING! Diesel engine exhaust and some of its con-
stituents are known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.
Other chemicals in this vehicle are also known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. This warning requirement is
mandated by California law (Proposition 65) and does
not result from any change in the manner in which
Peterbilt trucks are manufactured.
