the news said chevy had to recall all cobalt ss modles for the body pannels delaminating... thats what the TV news said

Where did you hear this?

it was on the morning news here. I'll research it and get more info soon...

AUTOWEEK
DETROIT -- Chevrolet's Cobalt isn't exactly flying out the factory door.
Chevy dealers say General Motors has delayed delivery of its coupe, and some have been told that their orders will arrive three weeks behind schedule.
"There has been a delay, but we don't know why," says Gordon Stewart, president of Stewart Management Group in Harper Woods, Mich., which operates three Chevrolet dealerships. "But there are always problems on startups."
GM says production of Cobalt coupes began Monday, Dec. 13.
Dealers say the delay affects all coupes, but Brent Dewar, Chevrolet's marketing general manager, says only performance SS models are involved.
Dewar says that the SS model has been delayed because of sheet metal problems and that GM didn't want to ship cars until the problem was fixed. He says production will begin early in January.
"We have flexible production, so we decided because of volume we'd keep building the sedan," Dewar said at a Cobalt press event last week in California. "We worked to make sure the vehicles are all right before they go to market. So with the SS, it took a couple of extra weeks."
Jim Graham, president of UAW Local 1112, admits that GM's Lordstown, Ohio, assembly plant, where the Cobalt is produced, has experienced "minor delays" in Cobalt production.
GM had time to work out the kinks on the coupes. The automaker told dealers during a sneak preview of the vehicle last year that sedans would arrive before coupes.

So is there a recall or not?

Well that is not a REAL recall because that is saving us the trouble of running back to the dealer . So in a way they saved use all a trip and it is a good think they are working out all of the bugs.

What companies should do so that there wont be any complains later

Oh that's just a percautin not a recall, I thought the cars were already at dealerships in the states.

That article is old !http://www.*************/forums/showthread.php?t=773&highlight=recalled

And from what I heard form a GM guy on other boards, the problem was corrected.

It is good that it was fixed.

yea, good thing they caught that problem before shipment.

Id rather wait a couple months for something good, then get a pos now and have to take it back later. Good call by gm.
