- Component:
- Vehicle speed control
- Affected:
- 17,898
- Notes:
- Saab campaign no m-02.possibility of ice accumulation in throttle housingwhen ambient temperature is below 20 f due to routing of crankcase ventilationsystem bypass hose.if this condition exists, the ice build-up can impede thethrottle closing when accelerator pedal is released.resulting in possibleloss of vehicle control.(correct by inspecting and rerouting bypass hose andplugging the original hose fitting in throttle housing).

- Campaign:
- 79V206000 on 12/11/1979
- Component:
- Vehicle speed control
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1974 - 05/31/1979
- Affected:
- 61,739
- Defect:
- Under certain conditions such as ambient humidity and vehicle pre-conditioning by repeated cold start, and short trip driving cycles in combination with sub-zero temperatures, there exists the possibility for ice to form in the throttle housing and temporarily impede full closure of the throttle plate when the accelerator is released. this ice build-up in the throttle housing may cause hesitation in vehicle deceleration and increased stopping distances.
- Correction:
- The dealer will modify the engine intake system to further improve preheating of incoming air in cold weather. this will be done free of charge.
- Notes:
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: fuel; throttle housing.consequences of defect: loss of vehicle control and an accident could result.
