(PressZoom) - General Motors has released recall details for 1.3 million vehicles for power steering assist problems that owners might encounter. No injuries or deaths have been reported due to this issue but GM is taking preventative measures to ensure the safety of its customers.
This GM recall covers certain models built from 2005 to 2010 including Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5's.
Details being reported about the recall center around the power steering assist system in GM compact vehicles. The problem of the power steering assist systems could cause the vehicle to make driving difficult and potentially dangerous.
A rash of recent recalls by several automakers including Toyota and Nissan has brought to the forefront problems in the manufacturing process as well as notifying customers of these issues.
