通用汽车因点火开关故障而损失的车辆价值达成和解

纽约 –

通用汽车公司已经与车主达成了1.2亿美元的和解协议,车主声称他们的车辆由于点火开关故障而损失了价值,导致124人死亡。

初步和解协议已于周五晚在曼哈顿联邦法院提起诉讼,需要美国地方法院法官杰西·弗曼(Jesse Furman)的批准。

它将解决由点火开关引起的最后一宗重大诉讼,这可能导致通用汽车停转并阻止安全气囊展开。

GM Settles Another Ignition-Switch Lawsuit For $120 Million

GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles from the 2004 through 2014 model years, and 124 deaths were reported because switch failure could cause vehicles to stall.
