Reporting Safety Defects
If you believe that your trailer 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
Kärcher.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an
investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in
a group of trailers, it may order a recall and remedy
campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved
in individual problems between you, your dealer or
Kärcher.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety
Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-
9153) or write to:
NHTSA
1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE
