REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTSI130C02A-AATIf 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 High-
way Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) in addition to notifying
HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA. 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 in-
dividual problems between you, your
dealer, or HYUNDAI MOTOR
AMERICA.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the
Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-

enth Street, SW., Washington, DC

mation about motor vehicle safety from
