SUMMARY:
GM is recalling certain model year 2005-2008 Pontiac Vibe vehicles. The Engine Control Module (ECM) for the subject models equipped with the 1ZZ-FE (LV6) engine and two-wheel drive may have been improperly manufactured.

CONSEQUENCE:
There are a variety of warnings and consequences associated with the defect. The engine warning lamp could be illuminated, harsh shifting
could result, the engine may not start, or the engine could shut off while the vehicle is being driven. An engine shutoff while the vehicle is being driven increases the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect the production number of the ECM and replace the ECM if necessary. This service will be performed free of charge. GM has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact GM at 1-800-620-7668.
