Yes.

[saturn 51]

So this cant happen on a chicago 98 degree summer day?

[sierrap615]

GM being cheap, like the OUTLOOK brake booster recall only in colder areas. what if someone has the car registered in another state? or move south in a year? or go on a road trip?

[bigapl]

Yeah GM being cheap here in GA our dealership has done well over a dozen this year alone, in comparison we didn't sell to many 07 ions.

[RoadIon]

What ever the cause, mine are on the list to be replaced.

[SaturnIONSLVUE]

This recall is crap, I am planing on Moveing to FL or NV with the next two years. What happens then. Why is this cracking is the first place? Why won't it crack in NY? I don't know how this could be legal.

[RoadIon]

It's unbelievable simply unbelievable, people complain if there car is on a recall list or if it's not on a recall list.

No, with all due respect I think it's more: one more bloody thing that was cost cut to the last dime. Sort of like the ignition switches that won't work in cold weather. Or the lousy strut bushings, or the leaking headlights or intermediate steering shaft failures. Or any # of other instances where GM's slash and burn penny pinching helped to destroy their reputation.

I am waiting for the recall to include 03-05 as well. It can't be far behind and was my first thought when I heard about the initial recall.

You most certainly can go to non-Saturn GM dealership for warranty work. It's up to the dealership if they want to do the work, though, like any other service.

[SaturnIONSLVUE]

I have not found 1 non-saturn gm delaer on long island that will do warenty work! They you want to pay them then they will do it.

[Diesel_Clatter]

That kind of sounds like what happened to my ION here in sunny Ohio. I ended up with a new tank/fuel pump due to cracks and leaking fuel.

Have you called the Customer Assistance line? They can find you a shop to do it or you can file a complaint with them. Some way, some how, your warranty work will get done.
