SAN FRANCISCO (Legal Newsline) – General Motors has added another 971,000 vehicles to its recall tied to a faulty key switch system.

The recall was expanded on March 28, just four days after a class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California that included plaintiffs from nine states who claimed the key switch system was defective.
