IDENTIFICATION AND SAFETY
REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
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 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying the
manufacturer.
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, NHSTA cannot become involved in
individual problems between you, your dealer, or the manufacturer.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hot-line toll free at 1-888-327-4236 or go to their
website at www.nhtsa.dot.gov. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from these
sources.
RECREATION VEHICLE SERIAL NUMBER DECALS, AND DATA PLATES
The recreation vehicle serial number label is mounted on the inside wall next to the driver seat. Refer to the
chassis owner’s manual for the location of the chassis vehicle identification number on all motorized recreation
vehicles.
IMPORTANT:
Always give model, year, and the V.I.N. number information when ordering parts. Also, we
recommend that you keep a copy of this information separate from the RV in the event that theft or vandalism
requires you to supply a copy to authorities.
Decals and data plates are used throughout the RV to aid in its safe and efficient operation; others give service
instructions. Read all decals, data, and instruction plates before operating your RV.
When any decal, data, or instruction plate is damaged, painted over, removed, etc. it should be replaced.
