Spring Fracture Special Warranty Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Wed, 17 Feb 2010 15:42:25 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I have read posts regarding spring fracture on our 9-3SS/SC/CV cars but had not yet read about the special warranty. I apologize if this is old news.
I received a letter from SAAB & GM today informing me that suspension springs on the 9-3 are now covered by a 10 year or 120K mile special warranty against fracture. Model years covered are 2003 thru 2006. The letter also included a claim form to reimburse owners who have already suffered this damage and have paid for repairs. Claims for previous must be received by Jan 31, 2011.
No action is necessary for other owners, but the problems is blamed on salt used for de-iceing and sand/gravel used for roadway safety in snowy climates. Great news for all of us snow belt residents!
Reminds me of the wheel bolt problem on 9-5's due to switching between steel and alloy wheels for winter & summer operation. Oh well, I will save the leter and hope I never suffer a broken spring.
This should be a relief for those 9-3 owners not living in the snow belt.
