Since no one replied since you posted the question, yes, any Cobalt that is affected by the recall will be repaired for free. It doesn't matter if you are the first, second, or however many owners or where you got the car from. This isn't like a bumper-to-bumper or powertrain warranty that can expire, be voided due to modifications, etc.

Got my power steering motor done yesterday
Noticed the difference the second I drove out of the dealership
It's now easier than ever to turn the wheel when parking in tight spaces
Feels like a cobalt version of a cadillac to me

i didnt get a letter, and they asked for my VIN and they checked it and i was qualified... i think as long as you know you dont have the recall done, they will give it to you cus its a cobalt.

Essentially, they don't want to charge because the recalls are considered ones that will kill you!

Just had mine done 2 weeks ago.. strange cuz I only ever experienced it once and it wasn't really a seriuos issue. Since it's been changed, it seems worse to me lol.. Waste of money imo.

No, the recalls are the ones that statistically, based on potential number of defects, potential number of lawsuits, and the average loss per lawsuit, will cost them more to litigate (read: pay out the ass for) than to just fix.

Never for an instant think a manufacturer will issue a recall out of the goodness of its heart. It's issued to protect their bottom line.

If your car is in the covered range and the recall hasn't already been performed on your car, no matter what owner you are or how long you wait you'll be able to get it repaired. Best bet is to call your dealer with your VIN number handy or contact Chevy's national toll-free customer service number on their home page and they'll be able to tell you if your car is covered (more than likely it will).
