Known issues & solutions
Model Years:
Problem:

A172126079 - ZPSR - Product Safety Recall - GM Holden Takata Airbag - Saab 9-3/9-5

NOTE: Following guidance received from the ACCC Saab 9-3/9-5 vehicles manufactured between July 2005 and January 2011 have been re-classified as being under Critical Recall. These are vehicles that are open in GWM and are greater than 6 years old. Some Takata airbag inflators are made with non-desiccated Phase Stabilised Ammonium Nitrate (PSAN) as a propellant. As it gets older, a combination of high temperatures and humidity can cause the airbag inflator propellant to degrade.

If the vehicle is involved in a collision, the airbag can go off with too much explosive force causing sharp metal fragments to shoot out and kill or seriously injure people in the vehicle.

Solution:

GM Holden dealers will replace the driver’s side frontal airbag module assembly.
