As you may have already heard GM announced a voluntary recall on certain Chevy Cobalt<\/strong> and Pontiac G5 models. The official announcement sent to dealerships is below. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

General Motors communicated to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) yesterday that it will conduct a voluntary safety recall of 1.3 million compact cars to repair a motor in the power steering system. Vehicles affected are the 2005 \u2013 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt; 2007 \u2013 2010 Pontiac G5; 2005 \u2013 2006 Pontiac Pursuit sold in Canada, and the 2005 \u2013 2006 Pontiac G4 sold in Mexico.<\/em><\/span> <\/em> <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Effective immediately, stop the delivery of all new and used models listed above that may be in dealership new or used vehicle inventory. These vehicles must be held and not delivered to customers or dealer traded until further notice.<\/em><\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The recall was voluntary and initiated by GM. The main purpose of the recall was to ease customers fears after the recent Toyota recalls<\/a><\/span>. The issue is a minor one and has caused no deaths or major accidents. The below memo details the recall further. <\/span><\/span> <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Dear GM Dealer:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span> We want to clarify and expand on a few items surrounding the voluntary safety recall of the Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G4, G5, and Pursuit models that was announced late Monday.<\/em><\/span> <\/em><\/span> First and foremost, owners and customers need to understand that even if power steering assist cuts out suddenly, these vehicles can be steered manually. The steering effort required could be greater below 15 miles per hour, but steering control is always possible. This condition typically presents itself in the 20,000-30,000 mile range. <\/em><\/span> <\/em><\/span> <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

We are conducting this recall out of concern for the customer\u2019s peace of mind. While we have the same Electric Power Steering (EPS) system in the Chevrolet HHR and Saturn ION, these vehicles are not included in the recall because every vehicle has unique tuning, tires and chassis, which causes some vehicles to be more susceptible to this condition than others. <\/em><\/span> <\/em><\/span> <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

We are working with the steering system supplier on repair scenarios, which could include steering motor repair or replacement, or one of several possible remanufacturing strategies. We will share more, including when customers can expect notification, as soon as we have all the details worked out.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
