Are there any exclusions?

Vehicles previously deemed a total loss, such as salvage or junkyard vehicles, do not qualify for the settlement.

What can class members get from the settlement?

Warranty extension: All class members will receive an extended warranty that will include the costs of all parts and labor for replacing a failed valve rocker arm, valve stem oil seal or valve tappet component. There are no fees or charges for diagnosis or repair under this extension. Class members must receive repairs at an authorized FCA US dealership. The warranty extension lasts for the earlier of seven years from the vehicle’s in-service date or 70,000 miles driven. Class members do not need to submit a claim form to receive this benefit.
Diagnosis and/or repair reimbursements: Class members who previously paid for the diagnosis or repair of a failed valve rocker arm, valve stem oil seal or valve tappet component can submit a claim for reimbursement of the full amount paid for qualifying diagnosis or repairs.

Why did this class action settlement happen?

The class action lawsuit alleged FCA US LLC did not provide the appropriate warranty coverage for certain valve train system components as “high-priced” warranted parts under the California Emissions Warranty.

FCA did not admit wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation and a possible trial.
