Saab replies on engine wrong - eight years' retroactive guarantee
A retroactive guarantee on eight years becomes Saabs replies on the engine error that was disclosed just over a week ago.
- we will actively apply for up those car owners that already have been hit and to pay back vartenda öre, says Örjan Åslund at Saab to Expressen.se.
It began with the insurance company, Trygg-Hansa, which refused to pay out compensation to Saab owners whose engines had blown alltogether, this was because of the big number of destroyed engines for these Saab owners, compared with other makes.
When the news disclosed the problem just over week ago Saab already had begun to look on how to deal with the problem, says Örjan Åslund, information manager wide Saab Sweden, to Expressen.se.
On Thursday, the solution came, that becomes so costly that General Motors each forced to approve this.
- we introduce a retroactive guarantee that applies eight years from first registration data, says Örjan Åslund:
- car owners that pursue perhaps four years since might put out 15000 for a repair comes we to actively to apply for up and the comes that few back vartenda öre. The means that cars that can have gone 25000 10 km, or up to and including still longer, sheep a new guarantee.
The problem exists in the engine's smörjning ssystem. Among other thing then the engine too often is driven shorter stretches and never has time to become really hot can the oil's properties to be broken down and to cause maskinhaverier.
- but this effects about four cars per hundred, says Örjan Åslund. The does not concern where and product other automotive, as man perhaps thought that the seemed when historien came out.
Örjan Åslund considers that Saabs obligation is generous:
- we produce premiumbilar and wants to therefore to take hand about our customers on a premiumsätt. If one is the smallest nervous will one take contact with its Saabhandlare eller -verkstad, the goes quite easily to establish if one has a problem that is related to this or not, says Åslund.
