DETROIT –
General Motors confirmed today that it will recall approximately 200,000 Saab and Saturn vehicles that contain Takata PSDI-5 driver front airbag inflators.
Covering roughly 180,000 units in the United States and 20,000 in Canada, the recall includes Saab 9-3 vehicles from model years 2003 to 2011, Saab 9-5 vehicles from model years 2010 and 2011, as well as Saturn Astra vehicles from model years 2008 and 2009.
According to a GM spokesperson, this is a precautionary recall, as neither Takata nor GM have any field reports of ruptures, injuries or deaths in the U.S. or Canada from the inflators in the aforementioned vehicles covered by this recall.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website, there are approximately 19 million vehicles from 12 automotive manufacturers currently involved in Takata airbag recalls. For the current full list, click here.
