The General Motors logo is seen outside its headquarters at the Renaissance Center in Detroit, Michigan August 25, 2009.
The switch issue is similar to the defect linked to at least 13 deaths in an earlier, 2.6-million vehicle recall of Chevrolet Cobalts and other small cars.
GM said it would replace or rework the ignition keys on the cars in the new recall, and it raised a recall-related charge for the second quarter to $700 million from $400 million.
GM said it was aware of eight crashes and six injuries related to the new recall.
