Every NHTSA safety campaign that lists a Saab 99EMS, most recent first, with the model years each one covers.

  1. Emission control (engine and engine cooling)

    NHTSA 78V208000 Reported 16,238 vehicles potentially affected SAAB CARS USA, INC.

    Insufficient clearance may exist between the fuel tank vent tube and vehicle floorpan where the tube projects through an access hole into the tool compartment under the trunk floor. Should the tube contact the lower edge of this opening, it could become damaged and fail at the point where it is soldered to the fuel tank. Fuel leakage…

    Remedy: Dealer will enlarge the access hole in the floorpan to ensure proper clearance. If the vent tube is damaged, it will be repaired.

    Model years: 1978

  2. Anchorage (seat belts)

    NHTSA 78V156000 Reported 9,862 vehicles potentially affected SAAB CARS USA, INC.

    The front seat belts may be of insufficient length and do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, "occupant crash protection".
