REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
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 Crownline.
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 problems between you, your dealer, or Crownline.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236
(TTY: 1-800-424-9153), go to http:/www.safecar.gov or write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 400 7

TIRE SAFETY:
Inspect each tire before each tow. If there are any signs of wear and tear or defects, replace the tire
before towing. If you notice uneven tire wear, check the inflation of the tires. Tire failure may result from
improper tire pressure. Please refer to the label on the trailer for recommended cold tire pressure. Inspect
tire tread for worn or bald spots. Tread depth should be greater than 1/16
th
inch at any lowest point. Replace
the tire before towing the trailer if the tire treads have less than 1/16
th
inch depth or the bands are
immediately visible.

Read the air pressure gauge.
