The 2008 Saab 9-3 has 2 recalls, the most serious involving the driver's frontal airbag inflator, which can rupture during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, risking serious injury to the driver or other occupants.
The second recall affects convertible models only: the driver's front seatbelt retractor can break and leave the belt webbing slack, meaning the belt may not properly hold the driver in a crash.
