NHTSA recall 04V226000
Seat Belts · SAAB CARS USA, INC.
Details
What's wrong: Some sport sedans were built with seat belt retractors that were damaged during the manufacturing process. If damaged, over time, the automatic tensioning system (Ats) cable in the seat belt retractor could break causing the belt webbing to not retract.
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, a front seat occupant may receive more severe injuries.
The fix: Dealers will replace the seat belt retractor assemblies. The recall began on January 24, 2005. Owners should contact Saab at 1-800-955-9007.
