Mechanic says control arms are bad, were recalled on 09 Chevy Cobalt

What is your question?

This was discovered while mounting 2 new front tires. Old tires had uneven wear. Front end feels a little "loose". Mechanic wrote "Control arm w/ ball jt lower includes bushings" needs replaced. Eventual failure will result in wheel detaching from car while driving. Mechanic said this was recalled by Chevy but I can't find any note of this while researching on the internet, only other recalls from Chevy on 09 Cobalts. Was there a recall for this problem?

What makes this problem better or worse?
