This bulletin is being revised to update the models and add an Important statement. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-44-029 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).


Important: Because some vehicles offer more than one radio option, please verify with your ESC that the knobs are available for the particular type of radio you are servicing.

This bulletin is being issued to advise technicians and service personnel that some radio knobs can be serviced without removal of the radio. Many radios have been returned with damaged/discolored knobs that could have been replaced at the dealership. Refer to the table below for usages.

Important: Radio buttons (for momentary contact switches, i.e. radio preset buttons) are NOT serviceable at the dealer level.

Parts Information

Radio knobs can be obtained from your Electronic Service Center (ESC). Saturn Retailers in the U.S. should order these parts through Saturn Service Parts. Saab radio knobs can be obtained through normal Saab parts ordering procedures. Please provide the model (part) number of the radio and the function of the knob when ordering.
