Recall 07V-087: 2002–2003 Saab 9-3, 2000 Saab 9-3 Convertible and 1 more
SAAB CARS USA, INC. recall for fuel system, gasoline, reported to NHTSA on Mar 7, 2007, covering about 94,377 vehicles.
The problem
On certain passenger vehicles, the fuel pump retaining tabs holding the fuel lines were damaged during production.
The risk
Over time, this could cause the fuel lines to loosen from the pump resulting in fuel leakage. If an ignition source were present, the fuel may ignite resulting in a vehicle fire.
The fix
Dealers will develop a securing bracket that will secure the fuel lines to the fuel pump even if the plastic retaining tabs should break. The recall began on june 13, 2007. This is an expansion of previous recall campaigns - see 04v557 and 06v126. Owners may contact saab at 1-800-955-9007.
