By component

United States: NHTSA, as of 2026-10-19
98V0380001998-02-24. EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPERLY AIMING THE HEADLIGHTING SYSTEM WERE OMITTED.

97V0460001997-03-21. VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. CORROSION AROUND THE ZINC-COATED THROTTLE CONTROL LEVER BUSHING CAN CAUSE THE THROTTLE LEVER TO BIND.
95V0680001995-03-29. POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IT IS POSSIBLE TO MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER INTO THE REVERSE GEAR POSITION, REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY, AND STILL HAVE THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, OR, TO ACCIDENTLY DISENGAGE REVERSE BY STRIKING THE GEAR LEVER. Built 1993-08-01 to 1994-09-01.

94V1270001994-07-08. SEATS. TWO TRIGGER SPRINGS MOUNTED TO THE FORE/AFT ADJUSTMENT LEVER DO NOT DEVELOP SUFFICIENT FORCE TO PROPERLY LOCK THE SEAT RAILS. AFTER THE SEAT IS ADJUSTED, THIS DOES NOT ALLOW THE SEAT RAIL LOCK TO PROPERLY ENGAGE, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE SEAT TO MOVE IN A SUDDEN STOP OR COLLISION. Built 1994-03-01 to 1995-01-01.
94V1100001994-06-13. SEATS. A WELD IN THE SEAT RAILS WAS NOT MADE, INCREASING THE RISK OF FATIGUE CRACKS FORMING AROUND THE ATTACHMENT BUSHINGS ON THE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM, CAUSING THE POSSIBILITY OF THE HEIGHT ADJUSTER BREAKING IN A REAR END COLLISION AND ALLOWING THE SEAT TO FOLD BACKWARDS. Built 1993-08-01 to 1994-06-01.
94V0740001994-04-16. SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC. THE ORIGINAL FRONT BRAKE DISCS AND/OR PADS SHIELDS DO NOT PROTECT THE ASSEMBLIES FROM BEING COATED WITH A LAYER OF SLUSH, ROAD SALT OR WATER WHILE DRIVING IN SNOW OR HEAVY RAIN. THIS CAN RESULT IN A DELAY IN BRAKING ACTION THAT INCREASES NORMAL STOPPING DISTANCE. Built 1993-08-01 to 1994-03-01.
Canada: Transport Canada, as of 2026-10-19
19981631998-08-20. Lights And Instruments. THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 108 - LIGHTING SYSTEM AND RETROREFLECTIVE DEVICES.

19970991997-05-09. Engine. NOTE: VEHICLES WITH 4-CYLINDER ENGINES. THE ZINC-COATED THROTTLE CONTROL LEVER BUSHINGS IN THE THROTTLE HOUSING MAY CORRODE, CAUSING THE THROTTLE LEVER TO BIND. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE THROTTLE PLATE NOT RETURNING TO THE CLOSED POSITION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED AND A SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF THROTTLE CONTROL. CORRECTION: ZINC-COATED THROTTLE LEVER BUSHING IN THE THROTTLE HOUSING WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NICKEL-COATED BUSHING AND BOLT.
19951361995-07-21. Powertrain. NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION INCLUDES 1995 SAAB 900 CONVERTIBLES. DEFECT: IT IS POSSIBLE UNDER CERTAIN PARKING CONDITIONS TO MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER INTO THE REVERSE GEAR POSITION, REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY, AND STILL HAVE THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, OR, TO ACCIDENTALLY DISENGAGE REVERSE BY STRIKING THE SHIFT LEVER.

19950281995-02-16. Seats And Restraints. NOTE: 1994-95 3 AND 5 DOOR MODELS AND 1995 CONVERTIBLES. THE SEAT ASSEMBLIES MAY BE MISSING ONE OR MORE OF THE ARC WELDS THAT JOIN THE SEAT BACK RECLINER MECHANISM TO THE SEAT BACK FRAME. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE SEAT BACK FALLING BACKWARDS IF THE VEHICLE IS IMPACTED FROM THE REAR. SUDDEN FAILURE OF A DRIVER SEAT BACK COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AND CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL, RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE CRASH. CORRECTION: SEAT BACKS WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF REQUIRED.
19941271994-08-08. Seats And Restraints. On certain vehicles equipped with manually adjusted front seats, it is possible that the two (2) trigger springs mounted to the fore/aft adjustment lever on both front seats cannot develop sufficient force to properly lock the seat rails. This could result in the seat moving in the event of a collision. Correction: faulty springs will be replaced with ones with the appropriate trigger spring force.
19941211994-07-29. Seats And Restraints. THERE IS A RISK OF FATIGUE CRACKS AROUND THE ATTACHMENT BUSHINGS ON THE HEIGHT ADJUSTING MECHANISM IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT.

THIS CAN RESULT IN A SHORT DELAY IN BRAKING ACTION THAT INCREASES THE NORMAL BRAKING DISTANCE.

A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
