Known issues on the 1993 240. One recall is on the federal record for the 1993 240, and it was about information rather than hardware: the owner's manuals of certain 1993 240 cars omitted a caution that putting the key in a flood-soaked car before unhooking the battery could trigger the air bag and hurt the driver. A mailed letter added it. Owners have logged 14 complaints, 4 about the air bags and 2 about hydraulic service brakes; 4 complaints reported a crash and 3 reported an injury. The manual gives procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics for the air bag system and brakes.
