Investigation · HOLIDAY RAMBLER CORP. · VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:LINKAGES

NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
