SAAB 99 TURBO Recalls

1 recall across 1 model year

Summary

The Saab 99 Turbo has 1 recall affecting the 1978 model year, where a deceleration valve throttle arm can snag a fuel line coupling and hold the throttle partly open after the driver lifts off the gas pedal, extending stopping distances and raising the risk of a crash. When the throttle sticks in a partially open position, the engine continues to drive the vehicle even with the accelerator released, which works against braking and makes the car harder to slow down than the driver expects.
