I replaced the original factory DIC in my 2000 at 90K miles. Purely as precautionary.
The second unit was replaced by the Saab recall at 190K miles. No faults ocurred with DIC #2.
The third unit started throwing codes past 285K miles. I replaced this DIC and kept the old one as a usable spare since the codes only happened upon hot restart. I eventually tired of tripping over a known faulty DIC and sent it to the electronics recyclers this past summer.
I may have been somewhat lucky too.
