9-5 Recall

>From Reuters this morning:
Gm Subsidiary Saab Recalls 130,000 Cars
October 08, 2000 11:24:00 AM ET

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (Reuters) - General Motors Corp.'s Swedish subsidiary
Saab Automobile is recalling 130,000 cars because of defective electronics,
a Saab spokesman says.

The cars represent the entire 1998 and 1999 output of the 9-5 model, Saab's
head of information, Niklas Andersson, told Reuters.

Andersson said the fault did not affect safety. Components in the
electronics box had not been well enough protected when the system was
manufactured by a Saab supplier.

As a result the parts could suffer corrosion, causing the engine to handle
roughly or even stop working.

``What the driver would experience is that a sign on the dashboard tells
him 'Please check the engine', and the engine might even stop,'' Andersson
said Saturday.

The supplier, who he declined to name, would shoulder the costs of fixing
the fault, and Saab itself would not suffer any costs.

Saab Automobile is not connected with the Swedish aerospace group Saab AB.
