Saturn VUE Recall

08/05/04 Saturn is issuing a voluntary customer satisfaction recall for Saturn VUE sport utility vehicles from model years 2002 through 2004. The recall will affect 246,433 vehicles, including 231,123 in the U.S. and 15,310 in Canada.

The recall is a result of a new test introduced by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a dynamic stability test commonly referred to as the fishhook maneuver. The VUE did not roll over during the test, but the rear suspension sustained damage when a wheel contacted the pavement, preventing the vehicle from completing the test. Saturn is making the necessary adjustments to strengthen the VUE's suspension system.

If you own a Saturn VUE, watch your mailbox for a formal letter that outlines the recall, including details about when to bring your vehicle in for the free update.

Saturn retailers will conduct consumer education clinics to help VUE owners understand the NHTSA test and the suspension modifications made to their vehicles.
