You will need to have the step-son sign it over if he chooses. Names are not simply removed from titles.

You can't, unless the stepson signs it over. In fact, it was likely improper for your husband to get the car at all. Being a cosigner is dangerous and foolish - you get ALL the liability and NO protection, and people need to NOT cosign debts unless they want and expect to pay them.
