Saab is recalling 57,389 9-5 series cars from the 2002-’08 model years to install new A-pillar trim with “improved energy-absorbing capability.” The federal government reports that the affected vehicles failed to comply with one of the government requirements for occupant protection during “interior impact.”

The recall is not expected to kick off until September, according to the recall summary on the NHTSA Web site. Federal regulators say “in the event of a crash, personal injury to occupants may occur” as a result of the problem. “During compliance testing, one of the upper interior occupant protection test points exceeded the standard’s requirements,” said the NHTSA.

Though dealers will install the new trim free of charge it is frightening to know that in this day and age something like this can still slip, and that it took this long to figure it out! Saab owners can contact the automaker at the number below for more info. If you’re affected by this recall, contact them right away!

SAAB : 1 (800) 955-9007.
