NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Saab dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

1977 Saab 99 recalls, newest first

September 14, 1979NHTSA 79V20600061,739 vehicles potentially affected

Vehicle speed control

Summary: Under certain conditions such as ambient humidity and vehicle pre-conditioning by repeated cold start, and short trip driving cycles in combination with sub-zero temperatures, there exists the possibility for ice to form in the throttle housing and temporarily impede full closure of the throttle plate when the accelerator is released. This ice build-up in the throttle housing may cause hesitation in vehicle deceleration and increased stopping distances.
Remedy: The dealer will modify the engine intake system to further improve preheating of incoming air in cold weather. This will be done free of charge.

Fuel system, gasoline › Delivery › Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

Summary: The fuel line may have been installed in a way such that the axle could contact the line and eventually cause the line to rupture, allowing fuel to leak to the ground.
Remedy: The dealer will remove the hose between the return check valve and fuel tank and install a longer hose of a preformed shape.

September 26, 1978NHTSA 78V20800016,238 vehicles potentially affected

Engine and engine cooling › Exhaust system › Emission control

Summary: 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 could result, especially when the tank is nearly or completely full.
Remedy: Dealer will enlarge the access hole in the floorpan to ensure proper clearance. If the vent tube is damaged, it will be repaired.
