Recall 94V-074: 1994 Saab 900
SAAB CARS USA, INC. recall for service brakes, hydraulic, reported to NHTSA on Apr 16, 1994, covering about 7,443 vehicles.
The problem
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.
The risk
Increased stopping distance could result in an accident.
The fix
Dealers will replace the original front brake shields with a new design. An additional hole will be drilled in the steering king pin housing to attach a larger cover plate. A smaller protection plate will also be attached to the existing two bolts in the hub.
