If you own a car or truck that you feel has a safety defect, report it to the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline.
Report a defect online or call toll free at (888) DASH-2_DOT (or (888) 327-4236)).
The NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline also has information about:
Motor vehicle safety
Child Safety Seats
Vehicle importation and certification
Air bags
Required Equipment & Safety
For information about whether a vehicle or vehicle equipment is street legal, see the ODOT Transportation Safety Division page on Vehicle Equipment and Safety Standards.
Because Oregon has adopted the federal motor vehicle safety standards for all vehicles, the NHTSA has detailed information on this subject.
