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 immedi-

ately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administra-

tion (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Landa.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an inves-

tigation, 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 be-

tween you, your dealer or Landa.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety 

Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (or 202-366-4000 in 

Washington, DC area) (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or write to:
