Chevrolet Recall Information

All 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5, 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice and 2007-2010 Saturn Sky vehicles are involved in the recall.

There is a risk, under certain conditions, that your ignition switch may move out of the "run" position, resulting in a partial loss of electrical power and turning off the engine. This risk increases if your key ring is carrying added weight (such as more keys or the key fob) or your vehicle experiences rough road conditions or other jarring or impact related events. If the ignition switch is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury or fatality. Until the recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that you remove all items from your key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from your key ring.

The current owner information from your state vehicle registration will be used to mail out customer communication for the recall.

GM will repair the problem free of charge at any General Motors dealership. This includes Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac dealerships.

All you need to do is contact a GM dealer to schedule a repair appointment. If you are driving an affected vehicle, until the ignition recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that you remove all items from your key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. The key fob (if applicable) should also be removed from your key ring. Before exiting the vehicle, it is very important for you to make sure the vehicle is in "Park". For a manual transmission, put the transmission into reverse gear. In both automatic and manual transmission cars, set the parking brake. And please remember to always fasten your seat belt.

When GM notifies you that parts are available, GM will also provide instructions for you to request reimbursement if you paid for repairs for the recall condition previously.

The simple answer to that question is yes. The GM engineers have done extensive analysis to make sure if you use only the ignition key with no additional items on the key ring, that the vehicle is safe to drive.

Any Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Cadillac dealer can perform the repairs.

Parts are currently available at all dealerships for all affected vehicles. Contact a dealer near you to schedule your repair.

In order to minimize customer inconvenience, whenever possible, the ignition switch, lock cylinder and keys will be replaced at the same time. Please understand, however, that this depends on parts availability. Because of service scheduling requirements, it is likely that your dealer will need your vehicle longer than the actual service correction time of approximately 90 minutes.

We recommend that customers only utilize the key, key ring and key fob (if equipped) that came with the vehicle.
