Reporting Safety Defects In the U.S.
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 Volvo Cars of North America.

However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or Volvo Cars of North America.
