Some dealers have been notified, some can't be bothered to read what they get, and some won't fess up to it.
No complete official text has circulated here yet -- i.e. we have no official word of what they think the 'flaw' is, what the conditions are, etc. Lots and lots of media reports and antecdotal stuff. Perhaps the dealers got notification to 'talk to the factory rep' when they got a candidate. From media reports and people here, we do know:
- It covers 'internally lubricated engine parts' but not the turbo: one person asking for reimbursement and one with a failed turbo were given this reason when talking to SaabUSA directly. The Swedish media reports mentioned a reimbursement program for prior repairs (and implied "don't call Saab, they'll call you.")
- At least one person with an 00 Aero reported he's having an engine done as one of the first approved under the warranty stateside
- There's no 'new' PCV mod yet (for 2003 and earlier), it's a 'case by case' basis at the dealers (TG posted this). 04, 05 have a fix but their system is different from 99-03.
