General Motors of Canada is recalling 153,310 vehicles including the 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2007 Pontiac G5, and 2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit.
In some cases, a defect in the ignition switch could allow the switch to move out of the "run" position if the key ring is carrying added weight or the vehicle goes off-road or is subjected to some other jarring event. The timing of the key movement out of the “run” position, relative to the activation of the sensing algorithm of the crash event, may result in the airbags not deploying, increasing the risk of injury.
Consequently, dealers will replace the ignition switch.
