Saab 900

Reported Apr 16, 19947,443 vehicles affectedSAAB CARS USA, INC.Built Aug 1, 1993 – Mar 1, 1994

The defect

The original front brake discs and/or pads shields do not protect the assemblies from being coated with a layer of slush, road salt or water while driving in snow or heavy rain. This can result in a delay in braking action that increases normal stopping distance.

The risk

Increased stopping distance could result in an accident.

The remedy

Dealers will replace the original front brake shields with a new design. An additional hole will be drilled in the steering king pin housing to attach a larger cover plate. A smaller protection plate will also be attached to the existing two bolts in the hub.
