Cavalier Recalls - article about Cavalier Recalls

The word lately has been in favor of one auto manufacturer, Toyota (taking six of the ten hottest car spots on the list), and in controversial angst over another, Ford (taking excessive slack from right-wing conservative Christians protesting their advertising in gay publications). Chevy seems to have escaped both the bane of boon of exposure of late, so maybe a light on and Cavalier recalls will fall on deaf ears. And despite how big a proponent I am of Chevies, I will nevertheless offer a look at the Chevy recalls…for those of us who are die-hard Chevy drivers but who are also smart shoppers who keep informed regardless.
