form the National Highway Traffic

addition to notifying Toyota Motor

plaints, it may open an investiga-
tion, and if it finds that a safety
defect exists in a group of ve-
hicles, it may order a recall and
remedy campaign. However,

in individual problems between
you, your dealer, or Toyota Motor
