For the 2009 Saturn Vue. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Saturn been repaired?

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

2009 Saturn Vue recalls, newest first

November 24, 2008NHTSA 08V6160002,149 vehicles potentially affected

Steering › Linkages › Knuckle › Spindle › Arm

Summary: GM is recalling 2,149 my 2009 Saturn vue vehicles. Some of these vehicles may have been built with an incorrect right and/or left front steering knuckle. As a result of the incorrect knuckle and resulting inadequate clearance, the tie rod ball stud could pull out of, or fracture, the tie rod housing. This could cause the tie rod to separate from the knuckle.
Consequence: Although steering control of the vehicle could be maintained after a tie rod separation by the unaffected wheel on smooth roads or during light braking, with more significant suspension or braking inputs, the affected wheel could turn out and skid. If a vehicle built with two incorrect steering knuckles had both tie rods separate at the same time, steering control of the vehicle would be lost, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the steering knuckles and, if necessary, replace the steering knuckle(s) and tie rod(s). The recall began on December 8, 2008. Owners may contact Saturn at 1-800-972-8876 or through their website at http://www.gmownercenter.com.

September 17, 2008NHTSA 08V47000042,408 vehicles potentially affected

Steering › Hydraulic power assist › Hose, piping, and connections

Summary: GM is recalling 42,408 my 2008-2009 Saturn vue vehicles. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the nut securing the power steering line to the power steering pump may loosen. If this were to occur, there may be a power steering fluid leak.
Consequence: The fluid could contact hot exhaust components resulting in a possible engine compartment fire.

If a fluid leak is present, dealer will tighten the nut and check the fluid level. The recall began on September 26, 2008.
