prepare bulletins for servicing our
products better. You can get these
bulletins, too.Bulletins cover various subjects.
Some pertain to the proper use and
care of your vehicle. Some describe
costly repairs. Others describe
inexpensive repairs which, if done
on time with the latest parts, may
avoid future costly repairs.
Some bulletins tell a technician how
to repair a new or unexpected

way to fix your vehicle. They can
help a technician service your

Most bulletins apply to conditions
affecting a small number of

Reporting Safety

Reporting Safety Defects
to the United States
Government
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 addition to notifying
Saturn Corporation.
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 individual
problems between you, your
dealer, or Saturn Corporation.
