I'm considering buying a 2001 5-spd 9-5 wagon. It has a warranty but I'm concerned about the CVS issue. Has it been resolved? Is there a retroactive fix? Is it covered under warranty? Thanks. >The crankcase ventilation >system in the 4 cyl 9-5 engines do have problems, mostly because the >crankcase ventilation system the engine was designed to use was not >acceptable for use in the US due to some stupid rules.
