Cars affected

Saab 9-5 MY02 within VIN range 23005988-23011696.

Background

The brake pipes to the rear wheels may have been insufficiently tightened to the ABS unit, due to incorrect settings on the machine.

1. Tighten the brake pipe nipple for the right-hand connection on the rear of the ABS unit.

Tightening torque 16 Nm (12 lbf ft)

2. Tighten the brake pipe nipple for the left-hand connection on the rear of the ABS unit.

Tightening torque 16 Nm (12 lbf ft)


Marking the modification identity plate

Mark box B5 on the modification identity plate after completing this procedure. If the work was carried out by the importer, mark the box with a "7". If done by a dealer, mark it with an "8".
