The Detroit-based automotive giant recalled 1.3 million compact cars sold in North America over the past five years due to problems with power-steering functions. The recall covers Chevrolet Cobalts sold between 2005 and 2010 and 2007-2010 Pontiac G5s sold in the U.S., as well as 2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuits sold in Canada and 2005-2006 Pontiac G4s sold in Mexico. The power-steering assist in those models can sometimes fail, GM said, adding that the cars are safe to drive.
