REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that 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 Multiquip at 1-800-421-1244.

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 Multiquip.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-

327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), go to http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov; or write to:
