The 1997 Saturn SC2 has two recalls, the more serious being a seatbelt retractor that can stop locking up properly if the belt is pulled out forcefully multiple times, leaving the driver or front passenger without proper restraint in a crash.
The second recall is a compliance issue: the owner's handbook does not include clear instructions for adjusting the horizontal aim of the headlamps, which can result in headlights that are not properly aimed for safe nighttime driving.
