EFECTS
If you believe that your vehicle 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
McLaughlin Group, Inc.
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, NHTSA cannot become involved in
individual issues between you, your dealer or McLaughlin Group, Inc.

4236), or file a report on-line at: www.nhtsa.dot.gov/hotline/, or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of
Transportation, 400-7th St. SW, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor
vehicle safety from the Hotline.
