Cars in stock must be remedied before delivery.
A personal communication must be sent to the owners of cars already delivered requesting them to get in touch with the nearest Saab garage as soon as possible to have the fault rectified.
Saab 9-3, M00 with engine variants B205L, B205R and B235R, and up to and including VIN Y2018486 3D/5D and Y7006098 CV.
The quality of the material used for the elbow hose, fitted to the evacuation line by the turbo, is insufficient for the high surrounding temperature and therefore hardens. A new hose material has been introduced as of VIN Y2018486 and Y7006098 respectively.
