Defect 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.
Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary	The dealer will remove the hose between the return check valve and fuel tank and install a longer hose of a preformed shape.
Notes	Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: fuel; fuel line.consequences of defect: fuel leakage is a fire hazard and if an ignition sourceis present, a fire will occur. personal injury and property damage couldresult.note: the following precautions should be taken to prevent the rear suspensionfrom bottoming and the fuel line from rupturing: (1) avoid driving with fullload in the trunk and more than three adult passengers, 2) avoid driving overrough roads and drive only at moderate speeds, (3) check rear tires to ensureproper inflation, (4) do not operate the vehicle if any leaking fuel isdetected.

Defect Summary
Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary
Notes	Saab campaign no n/a.possibility of fuel leakage could occur from housing ofpressurized fuel accumulator in the fuel line continuous injection system.ifthis condition occurs the location of accumulator is such that fuel couldcontact the tailpipe.(correct by inspecting and replacing units wherenecessary).

Corrective Summary
Notes	Saab scania campaign no m-05.possibility that brake drawrod pivot pins willfail to remain in place if brakes are applied extremely hard due to design ofintegral retention clip.if this should happen, the pivot pin would be free towork loose, and fall out without warning, rendering foot brake inoperative.(correct by inspecting and installing redesigned integral clip to precludepivot pin falling out).passenger vehicle.

Corrective Summary
Notes	Saab scania campaign no m-12.99 models0 gl two-door, ems, gl wagonbackincluded.possibility that door sill plate on either or both sides may havebeen improperly installed on assembly line in such a manner that seat beltmaterial may be pinched under edge of door sill plate.if this conditionexists and after some time with repeated usage, the belt may become frayed andweakened at the point of contact.(correct by inspecting and replacing beltand correcting sill plates where necessary).
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
79V206000	SAAB CARS USA, INC.	from 08/01/1974 to 06/01/1979	V (Vehicle)	61739	11/13/1979	MFR	SAAB CARS USA, INC.	09/14/1979	12/12/1979
Defect 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.
Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary	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.
Notes	Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: fuel; throttle housing.consequences of defect: loss of vehicle control and an accident could result.

Defect Summary
Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary
Notes	Saab campaign no m-02.possibility of ice accumulation in throttle housingwhen ambient temperature is below 20 f due to routing of crankcase ventilationsystem bypass hose.if this condition exists, the ice build-up can impede thethrottle closing when accelerator pedal is released.resulting in possibleloss of vehicle control.(correct by inspecting and rerouting bypass hose andplugging the original hose fitting in throttle housing).
