DETROIT, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- Just about every major world automaker has been listed as a defendant in a lawsuit that alleges the companies should have recalled millions of vehicles due to a carbon monoxide risk with "keyless" starter systems.
The class action suit, filed in Los Angeles Federal Court Wednesday, holds the automakers -- Toyota, Ford, Nissan, Honda, GM, BMW, Volkswagen, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and Kia -- responsible for not recalling keyless vehicles, over concerns that their exhaust systems could remain running unless the driver hits the "stop" button to kill the engine.
