For US customers
The following applies only to vehicles owned

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that
could cause a crash or could cause injury or
death, you should immediately inform the

America, LLC, P.O. Box 1227, Westwood, New
Jersey 07675-1227, Telephone 1-800-831-

a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA
