GM Recalls 1.3 Million Chevrolets And Pontiacs


General Motors has recalled 1.3 million Chevrolet and Pontiac models in North America for power steering failures that are tied to 14 crashes and one injury in the United States according to the company.


The recall affects the vehicles listed below.


*2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt sold in the United States
*2007-2010 Pontiac G5 models sold in the United States
*2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit vehicles sold in Canada
*2005-2006 Pontiac G4 models sold in Mexico.

A GM executive stated that when the power steering feature fails, a chime will sound and the "Power Steering" message will display to alert drivers.

No one can guarantee that the Power Steering message will display 100% of the time.
Drivers of a recalled vehicle will have to be vigilant if they experience anything abnormal with their car's steering.

If owners notice any problem with their power steering, GM recommends that they take their cars to their dealer to have the steering mechanism checked out.
