Under certain driving conditions (e.g. letting the clutch out and accelerating from a stop), the Poly-V belt can come off of the A/C compressor pulley.
This is due to the fact that the low profile drive belt may not be held in its groove when the sudden torque of the A/C compressor is applied.
Replace the Poly-V belt on affected cars using the part number listed.
Saab will soon send notices to owners of affected vehicles directing them to make a service appointment to have the belt replaced. Dealers will receive
the notices for vehicles in stock at the time notices are printed.
