Saab has limited the warranty extension to T7 equipped engines that don't have the newer block (with the new crankcase vent hole)...that indicates they know the failure mode, and they don't mention the head bolt issue
if they come out recommending just reversing the last(3rd)PCV mod (but not the first), then they don't really have a economical fix, and are willing to eat the cost of ??% replacements...
don't know what the threshold is for a EPA recall (they did this when the plastic mounting tabs on the T7 printed circuit assembly were found to fail after a year or so for certain engine numbers) -- have to believe the "blue smoke at startup" indicates a failure of the emissions system...
