NHTSA Recall History

1999-01: Airbag alert labels may not be permanently affixed as required.
1999-03: If drivers change tires seasonally, rust may build up on the steel tire, causing grinding and the fracturing of the wheel bolts. Dealer will inspect and replace affected parts.
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.
2001-05 9-5 sedans: 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.
2002: Steering-knuckle castings may have been contaminated during the casting process. If they break, steering control could be lost.
2002-03 9-5 w/B308 6-cylinder gasoline engines: Engine stalling may occur due to a faulty ignition discharge module. Dealers will inspect and replace affected parts.
2002-2008: An interior surface falls short of a Federal safety standard and poses an increased risk of injury in a crash. Dealers will install A-pillar trim with improved energy-absorbing capability.
