Yes, after the loan is totally paid off, but not before. Get a lien release from the lender. Once you have the lien release, there is really no need to get a new title just to remove the cosigner's name.
Another Perspective
The procedure may vary from state to state but generally: If the loan cosigner's name is also on the vehicle's Certificate of Title they must sign the title over to the primary borrower when the loan is paid off. Then the owner must bring the certificate to the DMV to have it reissued in the owner's sole name. Check the DMV rules in your state.

Is there a way for the cosigner to be removed as cosigner if primary owner defaults?
No. The purpose of requiring a co-signer is that in the case of a default by the primary borrower, the cosigner has agreed to be fully responsible for the loan. Therefore, if the borrower defaults, that's what you're there for if you're the cosigner.

Can a person take a car out of state without permission of cosigner?
No they can not because then the cosinger can report te car being stolen. YES YOU CAN AS LONG AS YOU ARE THE PRIMARY OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE COSIGNER IS JUST A PERSON WHO HAS MADE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE BANK THAT IF FOR SOME REASON YOU SHOULD DEFAULT ON THE LOAN THE BANK CAN PURSUE THE COSIGNER. BECAUSE THE COSIGNER PRESUMABLY HAS BETTER CREDIT AND STRONGER WORK HISTORY, THUS THE ABILITY TO REPAY THE LOAN. OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO BE OF AGE AND FOLLOW ALL OF THE LAWS WHEN DRIVING.

What are the disadvantages of cosigning on a mortgage?
If the primary borrower defaults the cosigner can get "stuck" with a huge debt and ruined credit. A cosigner has the same legal obligation to repay a loan as does the primary borrower. In addition, a cosigner does not have property owner rights, only the debt. The real question is why would anyone agree to pay a mortgage for land they do not own. A co-signer has an equal obligation to pay the mortgage.
