If you believe that your vehicle has
a defect which could cause a crash

should immediately inform the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) in
addition to notifying Toyota Motor

If NHTSA receives similar
complaints, it may open a
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 Toyota Motor
Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
To contact NHTSA, you may either
call the Auto Safety Hotline
toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or

area) or write to: NHTSA. U.S.
Department of Transportation.
