Recall Alert: 52,937 GM Compact Cars
GM has issued a recall for 52,937 vehicles, including the 2006-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2007 Pontiac G5 and 2006-2007 Saturn Ion, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The recall is for vehicles sold or currently registered in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada and Texas and is due to a plastic supply or return port on the modular reservoir assembly that could crack. If either of these components cracks then fuel will leak, which could cause a fire if it ignites. The fuel leak may be visible depending on the size of the crack.
Dealers will replace the fuel pump module for free. Even if you do not own a vehicle sold or registered in the aforementioned states, check with your dealer all the same. Some vehicles from the same timeframe in other states may be eligible for special warranty coverage.
Owners may contact Chevrolet at 800-630-2438, Saturn at 800-972-8876 and Pontiac at 800-620-7668 or NHTSA’s hotline at 888-327-4236.

I have a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt and I've seen things come out of my A$$ that have held together better than that piece of junk......
Haha I couldn't agree more... The lease on my 06 Cobalt SS ended in March and I bought a Civic SI... Couldn't be happier! Great little car and super fun to drive with no issues thusfar :)
I really don't know why the NHTSA allows these geographically-specific recalls. What if you travel to one of the affected states, or what if the car is resold in one of the affected states?
I had a Nissan once with a similar recall. I got the fix done without any hassle by telling them I travelled a lot, but I can't imagine it's always that easy.
This will be a headache for rental fleets, who tend to stock up on Cobalts. Just look at a garage in NY: Cobalt from Texas, Cobalt from Florida, Cobalt from Connecticut, Cobalt from New Jersey, Cobalt from Pennsylvania, etc.
GM can't catch a break can they.
Tim, the CSS is blazingly fast but I've read far too many owners not happy with how the car holds up over time. Good thing you leased it.
Not the best built cars in the workd
