General Motors has announced that they are recalling certain models of the 2005 through 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 through 2010 Pontiac G5 vehicles equipped with electric power steering.  They stated that the driver may experience a sudden loss of power steering assist that could occur at any time while driving.

If power steering assist is lost, it would require greater driver effort at low vehicle speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.  Dealers will replace the electronic power steering motor free of charge.  The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule.  Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 and Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668 or at the Owner center at www.gmownercenter.com
