Does any car manufacturer recall cars for problems that are not safety related? Some missing pixels in the SID display is not going to cause an accident or leave you stranded in an dangerous area.

How can you say that? Have you heard of a SID in a 2002 9-5 failing? I haven't. > I find this surprising from what I consider a prestige > manufacturer with excellent designs. Saab is replacing the faulty SID with a changed SID on warranty. What else do you expect them to do? -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com
