REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
If you think that your motorcycle has a fault which may cause
an accident, injury or death, you must inform the NHTSA (Na-
tional Highway Traffic Safety Administration) immediately and
BMW of North America, LLC.
If the NHTSA receives other similar complaints, it may open an
investigation. If it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of
vehicles, the NHTSA may order the manufacturer to perform a
recall and remedy campaign. However, the NHTSA cannot be-
come involved in individual problems between you, your autho-
rized BMW Motorrad retailer, or BMW of North America, LLC.
You can contact the NHTSA by calling the Vehicle Safety Hot-
line on 1–888–327–4236 (Teletypewriter TTY for the hearing
impaired: 1–800–424–9153) for free, by visiting the website at
http:// www.safercar.gov or by writing to Administrator, NHTSA,
400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. Further infor-
mation on vehicle safety is available at http:// www.safercar.gov.
Canadian customers who wish to report a safetyrelated defect
to Transport Canada, Defect Investigations and Recalls, may call
the toll-free hotline 1–800–333–0510. You can also obtain other
information about motor vehicle safety from http:// www.tc.gc.ca/
