It is a casting defect called microshrinkage, and usually occurs at the change in section during the cooling period. It is a manufacturing defect.
I'm surprised you haven't caught it before now.
Magnaflux carries a red dye penetrant kit, though there are other brands.
I saw this once on a Ford Mondeo many years ago, the mechanics didn't know what it was till I explained it to them. I believe they replaced the defective item.
I'd approach SAAB, seeing as it IS a manufacturing defect, and see what they have to say about it.
