'99 SE V6 Tensioner Failure

My '99 SE V6 had compression loss due to failure of timing belt tensioner at 76K miles, less than a year after I had timing belt replaced at 60K. Car has been at Saab dealer 33 days so far waiting for engine head that's on backorder. SAAB USA has been unresponsive and basically say I'm S.O.L. till the part comes in, which they have no idea when it will arrive.
I'm looking for other Saab V6 owners or techs who've seen similar failure on 1999-2003 9-5s. I think Saab should take some ownership and maybe a "class" of owners with this same problem will get their attention.
Let me know please if you can assist...
Thanks!
