New hub cap (wheel embellishment)


Cars concerned

M1994 Saab 900, chassis number -R2034239.

Background

On account of wide tolerances in the manufacture of hub caps (wheel embellishments) having part numbers 10-42 43 523 and 40-400 102 182, these hub caps may give rise to wheel imbalance on model year 1994 Saab cars.

For this reason, new and improved hub caps, part Nos. 10-45 45 729 and 40-400 105 045, have been developed.

These new hub caps, introduced in production on chassis number R2034239 and onwards, should be fitted in cases where Saab 900 customers complain of vibration in the steering wheel.

However, until further notice the earlier type of hub cap should continue to be used only on Saab 9000 cars. The new hub cap can be distinguished from the earlier one by checking the part number stamped on the inside.
