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 Genie Industries.

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 any individual problems between you, your dealer or Genie Industries.

To contact NHTSA you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (366-

0123 in Washington DC area) or write to:

NHTSA

U.S. Department of Transportation

4007th Street SW, (NSA-11) Washington DC 20590

You can also obtain information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.
