Saab 9-3 convertible recall affects nearly 28,789 vehicles from 2004-2011 model-years. Saab was ones owned by General Motors and, accordingly, the second generation Saab convertibles are equipped with Ecotec four-cylinder engines.

The problem with the aforementioned vehicles is that the automatic tensioning system cable in the driver’s side front seat belt retractor might break. If this condition occurs, the seat belt webbing that is spooled out by the driver, may not retract.

According to the automaker, it learnt about the problem after some Saab owners have complained to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) about the defect. GM dealers will replace the drivers’ side retractor for free and will offer an extended coverage for the passenger side belt retractors as well. The extended coverage will last whole life of the vehicle. The automaker is not aware of any injuries or collisions related to the problem.

GM will start notifying the affected owners soon. Concerned owners can contact the automaker at 866-418-8168 for more information about Saab 9-3 convertible recall.
