Auto Safety

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issues motor vehicle safety standards for domestic and foreign vehicles that are manufactured for sale in the United States. It enforces compliance with standards through testing programs, major recalls, surveys, imposition of fines, and if necessary, court action. The administration investigates possible defects related to the safety of vehicles and vehicle equipment.

Vehicle safety problems or odometer law violations can be reported by dialing the Washington D.C. office at 1-800-424-9393.
