It was only a VIN series of the 03-04 Sedans (31000001-41058122) that had trouble with the seat belt so if you had a convertible, you had no recourse even though they failed in a similar way. It came out as product safety campaign 150 17 and 150 26. Not a recall per see.
That's what happens when the lawyers and car makers have fine tuned and whitewashed as much as they can. Then it slowly grow from there or the cars go out of style and the momentum from owners fizzle and die.
Also the motoring public have quite a big misconception of what constitutes a recall.
Some believe that almost anything should be a recall but it is very few things that makes it all the way to the top and becomes a hard recall where they are forced to fix it for a long time. Many times it stops as being a service bulletin fixed while the car is still under warranty or maybe an extended service campaign where the car makers do it for a little bit longer or a goodwill warranty where only the good long time customers benefit from it and not the walk in DIY person.
Along the way to the top it has been a bunch of haggling and whitewashing and VIN numbers excluded based on "statistic data" like in this case so even though you might feel you have exactly the same problem as the other owner, your car might be one digit off in the VIN series and therefore not included.
So it looks like the Sedan did not make it to the top even though that's where it started with the Saab service campaign 150 17 in October 2004 but the convertible did even though that one was excluded from the Saab service campaign.
