FEBRUARY 2010 --
General Motors is recalling
certain model year 2004 SAAB
9-3 sedans. Some of these
vehicles were produced with
front seat belt retractors
that, over time, could fail
to retract. Using a seat
belt that has not retracted,
and in the event of a crash,
a seat occupant may not be
properly restrained
increasing the risk of
personal injury. Dealers
will replace the driver side
retractor free of charge. If
the front passenger
retractor were to fail to
retract, GM will replace the
front passenger retractor
free of charge under a
special coverage that will
be released for the same
population for 10 years from
new vehicle date of sale.
The safety recall is
expected to begin during
March 2010. 10V-043

occupants may occur. Dealers

with improved
energy-absorbing capability
