I would think not, as it is an important link in the computer scheme, but I also believe that once you've got a good one, it'll last indefinitely. The original on my '91 crapped out, and after I did the lube procedure oft described here it worked faithfully for five years 'til I sold the car. The used solenoid on my present Aero has been fine for 18 months now after the original died. FWIW, I lubed this one prior to installation with Liquid Wrench before determining its condition.
Although they fail frequently, as evidenced by the testimonials here, used ones go for $30-40 (from English-Swedish and probably Goldwing), so you won't be out much when they fail. Having a spare on hand isn't a prodigious concept at these prices, though going to Saab for a new one ($210) is a ripoff. IMHO, considering this is a known engineering weak spot, Saab should sell them at cost or less rather than profiteering on their own shortcomings.
