SATURN OUTLOOK Recalls

The Saturn Outlook has 3 recalls covering the 2007 and 2008 model years, with the most serious being a faulty airbag control module on 2007 models where the front airbags can fail to deploy in a frontal crash, and the warning light that would normally alert the driver to this condition may also fail to illuminate. The 2008 model year has a separate airbag issue involving side airbag wiring connections that can develop high electrical resistance over time, eventually preventing the seat-mounted side airbags and seatbelt pretensioners from firing in a crash. An illuminated airbag warning light is often the first sign of this condition. On 2007 models registered in regions with moderate to heavy snowfall, accumulated snow or ice on the windshield can jam the wiper mechanism and separate the wiper linkage from the motor shaft, leaving the driver with no wipers in conditions where visibility is already compromised.
