The 2009 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, potentially injuring the driver or passengers.
The second recall affects convertible models only: the driver's front seatbelt retractor can break, leaving the belt unable to retract. A belt that doesn't retract properly may fail to restrain the driver in a crash, raising the risk of injury.
