Office of Odometer Fraud Investigation

NHTSA's Office of Odometer Fraud Investigation conducts criminal investigations of large-scale interstate odometer fraud schemes involving multiple vehicles.  Individuals having specific information concerning such schemes are encouraged to call (202) 366-5953.

Complaints concerning vehicle safety such as, defects and recalls, should be reported by calling (888) 327-4236 or online at www.safercar.gov.
