   Fuel System, Gasoline / Delivery / Fuel Pump

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2007 Chevrolet Equinox and Pontiac Torrent vehicles originally sold or currently registered in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Texas; model year 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, Pontiac G5, and Saturn ION vehicles originally sold, or currently registered in, Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, or Texas; model year 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 vehicles originally sold, or currently registered in, Arizona; and model year 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 vehicles originally sold, or currently registered in, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma, or Texas. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the plastic supply or return port on the fuel pump module may crack, which could cause a fuel leak.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump module, free of charge. Notification to owners began on on November 21, 2012. Owners were instructed to not bring their vehicles in for repair until January 2013. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-521-7300.

   Report filed by General Motors LLC. Manufacturer campaign number 12190. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 1 Jan 2013.

2. 07V520000Received 7 Nov 2007. 57,100 units.

   Air Bags

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Certain passenger vehicles not equipped with optional roof rail airbags or optional sunroof fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 201,"occupant protection in interior impact." during NHTSA impact tests, the interior occupant protection test points exceeded the standard requirements.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The results of this test indicated a possibility of an increased risk of head injury in a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will install an energy absorbing foam piece to each of the a-pillar trim assemblies free of charge. The recall began on may 8, 2008. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.

   Report filed by GENERAL MOTORS CORP.. Manufacturer campaign number 07281. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 8 May 2008.

3. 07V344000Received 7 Aug 2007. 437 units.

   Air Bags / Frontal / Sensor/Control Module-Inactive

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Certain sport utility vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, "occupant crash protection." in these vehicles, the right front passenger seat is built with a passenger sensing system. When tested with a representative unrestrained small adult, the system is required to turn the right front passenger's frontal airbag on. An error in the seat sensor calibration can cause it to fail this test. In addition, this condition can prevent the airbag from turning off when the seat is occupied by a small child.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Whenever the front passenger seat is occupied, the driver should always check the airbag indicator to see if the airbag is on or off. If it is not correct for the situation, the passenger should be moved to a different seat. This can increase the risk of injury to a seat occupant during certain crash conditions.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will reprogram the seat's electronic control unit. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.

   Report filed by GENERAL MOTORS CORP.. Manufacturer campaign number 07174. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 30 Aug 2007.

4. 07V242000Received 13 Jun 2007. 6,213 units.

   Visibility / Windshield

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Certain vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 212, "windshield mounting." an incorrect primer may have been used when installing the windshield. The same primer may have also been applied to the liftgate glass and the side stationary glass.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   In the event of a crash, the windshield may not be retained to the extent required by the standard, increasing the risk of personal injuries to the vehicle occupants.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will replace the windshield, the liftgate glass, and the side stationary glass. The recall began on june 14, 2007. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.

   Report filed by GENERAL MOTORS CORP.. Manufacturer campaign number 07154. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 14 Jun 2007.
