NHTSA and DOT Press Releases

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration or NHTSA is a government agency of the U.S. Department of Transportaion (DOT), responsible for the enforcement of all safety related recall notices that involve manufacturer defects affecting consumer vehicles.

In addition to recalls, from time to time both NHTSA and DOT publish press releases on topics of importance to the motoring public. These press release cover everything from safety tips to warnings that consumers should be made aware of, but do not warrant an official recall by NHTSA. AUTOPEDIA™ compiles a listing of NHTSA and DOT press releases that AUTOPEDIA™ feels may have significant impact upon the general public. A complete listing of NHTSA and DOT press releases is available here.

If you are interested in obtaining specific information for a particular vehicle, you can do so by calling the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
