Saab Issues Recalls

Saab can now add its name to the long list of automakers who had recalled their vehicles in the past few months. Saab is recalling around 4,400 vehicles because of an issue with the engine stalling. The recall is affecting specific 2010 and 2011 models of the 9-3 sedans. Those sedans that are being affected were built between the months of June to October in 2010. 

The recall is said to be put into effect because the Saab company realized that there was a problem with engines stalling. However, according to the company there has been no accidents, injuries or deaths that have occurred from the recall. Saab found that the problem is with the fuel pump that is shutting itself off, allowing now fuel to get to the engine, which in turn causes the car to stall. 

This stalling could affect many of those that drive the vehicle, especially if the car is being driven down the road or stopped at a stop light in a small town. A rear end collision would be an easy accident to have with this kind of problem. Though, Saab has caught the problem relatively early, which should save their reputation with their customers. 

The recall is going to be announced to each customer that is being affected. They should be receiving letters in the mail informing them of the recall and where they can take the sedan to be fixed. Saab is going to cover the expense that is associated with the recall that will require mechanics to replace the defective fuel pumps in the cars. However, the recalls are not set to start until around February 18th when they are first going to start notifying customers with the affected cars. For those that are worried that their car is unfit to drive, they can call Saab directly and find out the risks and hazards, as well as when they can expect to have the problem fixed.
