Saab 9000 Recalls
Summary
On certain vehicles, moisture could enter the air bag electronic control module and cause corrosion on portions of the ECM printer circuit boards. This condition can, in extreme cases, create open connections in circuits controlling air bag deployment with the possibility of inadvertent air bag and/or pretensioner deployment. Correction: Dealers will inspect the electronic control module and install a protective cover over the module to prevent moisture from entering.
Summary
THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 213 - CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS. THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT MOUNTING ON THE PARCEL SHELF DOES NOT COMPLY TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STANDARD DUE TO INCORRECT SPOT WELDS. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE CHILD SEAT COULD COME LOOSE, CAUSING INJURIES TO THE CHILD. CORRECTION: PARCEL SHELF AND SUPPORT PLATE WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
Summary
ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH "MkII" ABS BRAKING SYSTEM, MOISTURE MAY FOLLOW THE WIRING TO THE PRESSURE WARNING SWITCH ON THE ABS UNIT WHICH CAN CAUSE CORROSION TO BUILD UP ON THE CONNECTION TERMINAL. A MALFUNCTION COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF POWER ASSISTANCE. CORRECTION: IF THE SWITCH CONNECTION PINS ARE CORRODED, THE SWITCH WILL BE REPLACED. ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE SWITCH CONNECTION WILL BE SPRAYED WITH A COATING AND SHRINK SLEEVE WILL BE APPLIED TO SEAL THE CONNECTION FROM WATER.
Summary
A SLIGHTLY DOWNWARD LOW ENERGY IMPACT COULD RESULT IN BREAKAGE OF THE ENGINE OIL COOLER HOSE AND/OR HOUSING. LEAKING OIL FROM THE OIL COOLER CAN BE IGNITED BY A HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD OR TURBOCHARGER RESULTING IN AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. CORRECTION: A PROTECTIVE COVER WILL BE INSTALLED OVER THE OIL COOLER.
Summary
THERE IS A RISK THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH CAN STICK IN THE "ON" OR "OFF" POSITION. THIS CAN RESULT IN THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINING ON CONSTANTLY OR IN THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT ILLUMINATING WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSPECT, AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH.

Summary
CRACKS CAN DEVELOP IN THE TWO (2) RUBBER HOSES THAT CONNECT THE FUEL TANK WITH THE PLASTIC PIPES WHICH GO TO THE FUEL FILLER HOUSING. THIS COULD RESULT IN FUEL LEAKAGE AND, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, A FIRE COULD OCCUR. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HOSES AND REPLACE THE CLAMPS WITH NEW STYLE CLAMPS THAT HAVE A PROTECTIVE INNER LAYER.
Summary
ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE BALL OF THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR ARM MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY FITTED TO THE SOCKET ON THE END OF THE GEAR SELECTOR CABLE, THEREBY ALLOWING THE TWO COMPONENTS TO SEPARATE. THIS WOULD RESULT IN A NON-FUNCTIONING GEAR SELECTOR. SINCE THE STARTER INHIBITOR SWITCH IS INSTALLED ON THE GEAR SELECTOR LEVER, THERE IS A RISK THAT THE VEHICLE CAN START MOVING EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR SELECTOR IS IN THE PARK OR NEUTRAL POSITION. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND, IF NECESSARY, ADJUSTED TO ENSURE THE SOCKET ON THE SELECTOR CABLE IS FIRMLY SECURED TO THE SELECTOR LEVER.
Summary
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 2.3 LITRE ENGINE MAY HAVE A HOLE IN THE PLATE OF THE DRIVE BELT TENSIONER WHICH MAY NOT HAVE THE SPECIFIED DIMENSION. THIS MAY CAUSE THE SHAFT TO COME LOOSE AND PREVENT DRIVE BELT OPERATION WHICH COULD AFFECT POWER STEERING ASSIST, COOLANT CIRCULATION AND ALTERNATOR OUTPUT. CORRECTION: DRIVE BELT TENSIONER WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED IF NECESSARY.
Summary
NOTE: VEHICLES WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RESIDUE ON THE CIRCUIT CARD MAY CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE BACK-UP LAMP CIRCUIT AND EVENTUAL OVERHEATING OF THE COMBINATION SAFETY/BACK-UP LAMP SWITCH ASSEMBLY. IF THIS SHOULD OCCUR, SMOKE OR POSSIBLY A FIRE MIGHT DEVELOP FROM THE CENTER CONSOLE AREA IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. CORRECTION: AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT, INCLUDING A RELAY, WILL BE ADDED TO THE BACK-UP LAMP CIRCUIT. THIS WILL REDUCE THE MAXIMUM ELECTRIC CURRENT THAT CAN FLOW THROUGH THE COMBINATION SWITCH IN THE GEAR SELECTOR.
