GM to Recall 1.3 Million Chevrolet, Pontiac Compact Cars

General Motors Co. announced Tuesday that it will recall 1.3 million Chevrolet and Pontiac compact cars sold in the U.S., Canada and Mexico in order to correct its power steering motors, according to Associated Press.

 

The recall affects 2005 to 2010 Chevrolet Cobalts, 2007 to 2010 Pontiac G5s, 2005 and 2006 Pontiac Pursuits sold in Canada and 2005 and 2006 Pontiac G4s sold in Mexico.

The company said Monday the automobiles are still safe to drive and never lose their steering, but it may be harder to steer them when traveling under 15 mph.

 

It will take time for the automaker to get 1.3 million new power steering motors from the supplier, JTEKT Corp., according to GM spokesman Alan Adler. The company will inform car owners when the parts are available.

 

GM informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the recall on Monday. NHTSA began an investigation into 905,000 of the models on Jan. 27 after getting 1,100 complaints that the cars lost their power steering. The complaints included 14 crashes and one injury.
