The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/national%20highway%20traffic%20safety%20administra tion/) has issued a recall (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/recall/) for a number of General Motors (http://www.autoblog.com/category/gm/) cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox (http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/equinox/), Pontiac Torrent (http://www.autoblog.com/pontiac/torrent/) and Saturn Ion (http://www.autoblog.com/saturn/ion/) and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/cobalt/) (shown) and its Pontiac G5 (http://www.autoblog.com/pontiac/g5/) twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac (http://www.autoblog.com/pontiac/) and Saturn (http://www.autoblog.com/saturn/) have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below (http://motorgen.com/2012/09/29/gm-recalling-over-40-000-chevy-pontiac-and-saturn-models-over-f/#continued) for more details.Continue reading GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/01/gm-recalling-over-40-000-chevy-pontiac-and-saturn-models-over-f/)
