Default Mc ignition recall?

2000 LS Heard on this site something bout ignition recall? Is dealer supposed to be replacing ignition switch? because when i recieved a recall notice i went to dealer. they said they were only going to put some rubber or plastic in my keys so they hang from only the middle......I think my switch is bad cause intermittently car is hard to start & stalls randomly. i'd like to know if there really is a recall on the switch...thanx

The recall is for unintended key rotation. the dealer will modify the key only. the switch does commonly go bad, its not part of the recall sadly.

My wife's cavalier was having stalls while driving, I got a VIN # cut key and no stalls since. Worth a try cheaper than the ignition
