Replacing the VIN plate |
If the vehicle identification number label is destroyed by a crash or during the repair of collision damage, then the workshop orders a replacement label via First Line Support (FLS) for each individual market.
Address:
Saab Automobile AB
Attn: Customer Care
SE-611 81 Nyköping
SWEDEN
Only authorised Saab garages can obtain replacement labels. This is so that Saab Automobile AB does not participate in providing a stolen car with a new identity.
