NHTSA Recall History
1999 w/manual front seats, made March 4 - October 17, 1998:
Failure of "Easy Entry" cable in front manual seats can cause seat fore/aft adjustable mechanism to be unlocked, reducing the restraint capability of the safetybelts in a crash.
2000 9-3 convertibles:
The fuel pump retaining tabs holding the fuel lines were damaged during production. Over time, this could cause the fuel lines to loosen from the pump resulting in fuel leakage. Dealers will install a bracket that will secure the fuel lines to the fuel pump.
2000-02 w/B205/B235 four-cylinder or B308 six-cylinder engine:
Overheating and burnout of isolated gated bipolar transistor may occur, most often at engine start-up.
2001:
Airbag alert labels may not be permanently affixed.
2001-02 Sedan and Convertible:
Some fuel pump retaining tabs were damaged during production; over time, fuel lines could loosen from pump, resulting in leakage.
2002:
A loose tie rod could result in a sudden reduction or total loss of steering control.
