General Motors is recalling certain models because of a problem with plastic supply and return ports on the modular reservoir assembly. The ports may crack, possibly allowing fuel to leak and create a fire hazard.

The recall affects the following models that were sold in specific states:

• CHEVROLET / COBALT 2006-2007
• PONTIAC / G5 2007
• SATURN / ION 2006-2007

The Cobalt and Ion recalls are for 2006 vehicles sold or registered in Arizona and Nevada. The recall also affects 2007 Cobalt, G5 and Ion vehicles sold or registered in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada and Texas.

Dealers will replace the fuel pump module free of charge. Special extended coverage will also apply to vehicles registered in other states where high temperatures are common.
