WASHINGTON - General Motors Corp. said Wednesday it was recalling more than 98,000 Chevrolet Cobalt small coupes to upgrade head impact protection.

GM said the recall affects 98,707 vehicles from the 2005-2006 model years that are not equipped with optional roof-mounted side impact air bags. The issue was discovered during compliance testing.

There have been no injuries related to the recall. GM spokesman Alan Adler said the head impact protection would only be an issue for motorists not wearing a seat belt. Belted motorists would not be affected, he said.

Dealers will install energy absorbing plastic to the area, the company said. Owners can contact Chevrolet at (800) 630-2438.



I have the side impact airbags......

 

not takin it in cuz i dont want that **** on my car its ugly as ****

 

repost...your about a week late

 

what does it look like, i may qualitfy.

 

Im in that bracket but i havint got a notice, im with xspyder i want to see this **** before the paste it on our headliner.

 

i think it goes under the head liner guys,prolly nothing you will even see

 

i seen it at my dealer its thick and it makes the headliner like its falling off

 

They say it won't affect belted passengers. Every person wears a seat belt in my car, period. I don't think i need it.

 

Same here, if your too COOL to wear a belt then your too cool to ride in my car.

 

x2 Good Call

 

Seatbelts FTW!!!

 

hmm whats with gm recalling the cobalt so much......btw this is all this warrenty work i persume?

 

yes,but I wear my seatbelt, so I'm not having this done

 

I thought this was for Sedans and Not Coupes?

 

either way i have side bags and who dosent wear a seatbelt??n my girls sis almost died for not wearing a seatbelt. I always tell my girl im not movin till your belt is on and its because i love you not because i want to annoy you

 

Any one have any pics of how it looks after they fix it?

 

A recall is "warranty work" no matter what, the Dealer is required by law to do the work for free.

As far as "recalling the cobalt so much" its all part of having a new model car. They're just working out the kinks.

The fuel injector recall looks like when they produced the engine they were supplied with a bad batch of injectors...that'll happen from time to time

 

still no pics...nobody works at a dealership for us?

 

Apparently not everyone caught the first post. Thank you!
