Lawyers looking to sue General Motors Co. after its global recall of 1.6 million vehicles over an ignition defect may find their path blocked by a judge’s order five years ago in the company’s reorganization.

Attorneys are now examining pre-bankruptcy deaths and claims with a view to getting the ban lifted.
