The 1976 SAAB 99 has 2 recalls, the most serious being a fuel leak that can develop beneath the vehicle while the engine is running, creating a fire risk. Rear axle movement can wear through the fuel return line, allowing fuel to drip under the car whenever the electric fuel pump is active. The second recall involves improperly installed door sill plates that can catch and pinch front seatbelts, cutting or tearing the webbing and reducing the belt's ability to restrain an occupant in a crash.
