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
Traffi c Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to
notifying Kärcher.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an
investigation, and if it fi nds 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-
