The Campaign

Saab Cars USA. Inc. has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety may exist in certain 1994 900 3-and 5-door Saab 900 models.

It is possible for the brake pads and discs to become coated with a layer of slush, road salt, or water while driving in snow or heavy rain conditions. This coating could result in a short delay in braking action that increases the normal braking distance. The existing front brake shields are to be replaced with a newly designed part to prevent this possible coating from occurring.
