Saab 9-3: Right Hand Front Seat May Not Lock Correctly
Recall Summary SAAB is recalling 121 SAAB 9-3 vehicles because the right front seat's reclining mechanism may fail, preventing the backrest from locking into position. If this occurs and the vehicle is in a crash, the seat belt attached to the seat may not properly restrain the occupant. Dealers will inspect the seat and replace it if necessary.
- Recalling firm
- SAAB
- Product
- Vehicles: SAAB 9-3. Units affected: 121
- Reason
- It has been established that due to a process problem at a sub supplier the right hand side front seat recliner mechanism may fail. This will result in that the back-rest can't be moved back into the locking position. The condition is very obvious but if ignored and the vehicle is involved in a crash the seat belt which is integral to the seat structure will not restrain the occupant as designed. Remedy: The seat should be inspected and if necessary replaced.
