Saab-Scania has found that the wiring harness, depending on how it was installed, may chafe against the windshield wiper motor bracket. If a short
circuit develops, there is risk of a fire.
To prevent the possibility of chafing, your Saab dealer will remove the left side firewall cover and apply two rubber protection strips to the outer edges
of the wiper motor bracket and check for any wire contact with the metal bracket. The repair takes less than one-half hour.
Bring this letter and the enclosed preprinted recall claim form to your dealer on the day of your appointment. When the work is completed, be sure to
sign the recall claim form in the space provided. This form must be submitted by your dealer to Saab-Scania of America, Inc. for our recall records and
to update periodic recall reports to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
If you should experience difficulty in making arrangements for this work to be performed at no charge by your dealer, we urge you to call the Saab
Regional Office nearest you (see letterhead). Our Consumer Relations Staff is available to assist you in resolving any such problem. You may submit a
complaint to the Administrator, NHTSA. 400 Seventh Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20590 or call the toll-free Auto-Safety Hotline at 800-424-9393
