Reporting safety defects for U.S. owners
Uniform tire quality grading
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 Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

plaints, it may open an investiga-
tion, and if it finds that a safety de-
fect exists in a group of vehicles, it
may order a recall and remedy
campaign. However, NHTSA
cannot become
involved in individ-
ual problems between you, your
dealer, or Toyota Motor Sales,
U.S.A., Inc. To contact NHTSA, you may eithercall the Auto Safety Hotline toll-
free at 1-800-424-9393 (or
