Here is full recall information.
SPECIAL COVERAGE
SUBJECT: SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT – ENGINE CONTROL MODULE -
EMISSION RELATED REPROGRAMMING
MODELS: 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT, HHR
2006 PONTIAC PURSUIT (CANADA ONLY)
2006 SATURN ION
WITH 2.2L (L61) ENGINE
CONDITION
Engine control modules on certain 2006 model year Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR; Pontiac Pursuit; and Saturn ION vehicles, equipped with a 2.2L engine (RPO L61), may randomly fail to respond to single information requests made by an On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) emission test device, generic scan tool, or other aftermarket devices that plug into the vehicle's Data Link Connector (DLC).
GM Tech 2® scan tools are not affected by this condition. It is possible that the lack of a single ECM response to an emission test tool could result in
missing or inaccurate OBD emission test data (for example no or partial electronic VIN display) resulting in a customer's vehicle failing or being rejected from a state/province mandated OBD emission test (Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Test or Smog Check).
SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT
This special coverage covers ECM reprogramming for the condition described above for a period of 15 years or 150,000 miles (240,000 km), whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership. ECM reprogramming will be performed at no
charge to the customer. This special coverage does not apply to vehicles that have previously been reprogrammed with the updated software (November 15, 2006, or later) or for repairs that are not related to this
condition. Repairs to address issues such as malfunction indicator light (MIL) illumination, stored diagnostic trouble codes, unset readiness monitors, component/circuit repair or replacement, etc., do not apply to this special coverage. For vehicles covered by Vehicle Service Contracts, all eligible claims with repair orders on or after September 8, 2009, are covered by this special coverage and must be submitted using the labor operation codes provided with this bulletin. Claims with repair orders prior to September 8, 2009, must be submitted to the Service Contract provider.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are certain 2006 model year Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR; Pontiac Pursuit; and Saturn ION vehicles, equipped with a 2.2L (RPO L61) 4-cylinder engine and built within the following VIN breakpoints:
YEAR DIVISION MODEL FROM THROUGH
2006 Chevrolet Cobalt 67600003 67887446

PARTS INFORMATION

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Determine if the ECM has been programmed on or after 11/15/06 using GMVIS.
