Claim Forms for the Ford diesel engine class action settlement are now available at the Settlement Administrator website. If you purchased or leased a 2003-2007 Ford vehicle equipped with a 6.0-liter PowerStroke diesel engine, you may be eligible to claim between $50 and $825 from the class action settlement.
The Ford diesel engine settlement resolves dozens of class action lawsuits, consolidated as In re: Navistar 6.0L Diesel Engine Products Liability Litigation, that claim the PowerStroke diesel engines installed in heavy-duty Ford trucks and vans are defective and plagued with problems.
Ford denies the allegations but agreed to reimburse consumers through a class action settlement fund to resolve the litigation.
The settlement covers 2003-2007 non-ambulance Ford vehicles sold or leased in the United States and equipped with a 6.0-liter PowerStroke diesel engine. To be eligible to participate in the class action settlement, your vehicle must have received a repair, replacement, or adjustment during Ford’s 5-year/100,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty to one of the following engine components:
- Exhaust Gas Recirculation (“EGR”) Cooler
- Oil Cooler
- Fuel Injector(s)
- EGR Valve
- Turbocharger
Who’s Eligible
Class Members that submit a valid Claim Form will receive one of the following benefits if the class action lawsuit settlement is approved:
Reimbursement for Post-Warranty Repairs to Certain Engine Components. If the Class Vehicle required repair to the EGR cooler, oil cooler, EGR valve, turbocharger, or a fuel injector after the original five-year/100,000-mile warranty expired — but before six years or 135,000 miles (whichever comes first) — Ford will reimburse the Settlement Class Member repair expenses up to the limits specified below, provided the Class Vehicle previously received a repair to that same component that was covered by Ford’s original warranty.
Potential Award
Up to $825
Reimbursement of Deductibles. If a Settlement Class Member paid a $100 deductible more than once for repairs under the five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, Ford will reimburse $50 each for the second through fifth deductible paid, up to a limit of $200 for four deductible payments.

98 thoughts onFord Navistar Diesel Engine Class Action Lawsuit Settlement
I bought a 2003 Ford diesel truck — thought I filed a claim in the turbo settlement but have heard nothing back — little disappointed as I certainly paid for the numerous repairs associated with this settlement.
In November 2004 I purchased my “Dream” truck. A 2005 F350 6.0. I just turned over 60k miles on the truck. I was smart and purchased the extended warranties, twice. Still is under warranty until December 2016. My truck has been in the same dealership twenty (20) times! Two turbos, three EGR coolers, FICM, two oil coolers, rear main (saddle block), entire A/C system, three fan clutches due to high pitched squeal, bed was replaced due to factory damage, front clip pulled to get to rear main, overheating problems, heater problems, HORRIBLE turbo lag, HORRIBLE mileage. The list goes on and on and on…….
First Ford I have purchased! Always been a Chevy Truck guy. Should have stuck to my gut feeling! I was told the Ford diesel was the only way to go for pulling my large fifth wheel. I have been fighting with the dealer every since I bought the truck. They “played dumb” and never revealed how much they knew about this ALBATROSE! Research showed they knew about the problems early on but kept it quiet. Ford was getting hit so hard with complaints, they filed a lawsuit with NAVISTAR and bailed on the contract a year early! By doing this, they kept from declaring a recall on the problems with the oil cooler which failed and caused the EGR cooler to go out which caused the EGR to fail, etc. etc.
In December 2011, I wrote a lengthy letter to Ford Motor Company complaining about how they have literally screwed their customers. They sent back a reply which simply said “thank you for your concerns”, we feel the dealer is properly handling your complaints and to re-contact them. The audacity of them to do this to their customers is unfathomable!
Last month I had my truck in again for over a week and they put in over $7,000 dollars worth of work. The service manager, sales manager and general manager for Sanderson Ford in Glendale, Arizona know me on a first named basis due to this truck. They asked me if there was anything they could do to make me happy. I stated yes….Take the motor out and throw it down a mountain side…..I decided to get a hold of the regional representative for Ford and start “moving up the chain”. I was told I could not directly speak with the rep. All I could do was work through the dealership and they would contact the rep. FINALLY, with a lot of persistence, and I mean persistence, I was told by Customer Service at Ford Motor Company that the southwest regional representative would call me.
I received a call from Mark Johnson, southwestern United States regional representative for Ford Motor Company. After a forty five (45) minute phone conversation, he basically told me there was nothing Ford could offer me. Said he was not familiar with the Multi million dollar lawsuit and did not know the specific issues with the 6.0 diesel engine. I was completely floored at his demeaning attitude and how he “blew me off”. I asked to speak with his supervisor. Mark said he had answered all my questions and was going to “close my case” as there was nothing more Ford could do for me. I specifically told Mark not to close the case and demanded to speak with his supervisor. After a looooooooog conversation, he said he would not close the case and would have his supervisor call me.
I never received a call so I called customer service back. I found out Mark Johnson lied to me! Imagine that! He did in fact close my complaint case and there was nothing in the file asking to speak with his supervisor! After being persistent again, I was promised by customer service representative “Wayne”, that Marks supervisor would call me.
I actually received a telephone call from Lenny Hendrick, Customer Operations Manager (COM) for the western United States! His number is 321-435-1206. Now I was getting somewhere! Or so I thought. He had the same demeaning attitude as his subordinate Mark. The only thing he offered me was either get in touch with my local Better Business Bureau or he was gracious enough to allow me to be put on their “X plan” which means you can buy another Ford as if you are an employee and get their discount! REALLY! I spent over $50,000 dollars on this truck and I am going to buy another FORD for the way they treat their customers! I will never buy another Ford again. My first and guaranteed LAST Ford! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!
My final thoughts to FORD Motor Company. You really screwed your customers and have no idea how this is and has negatively affected your reputation. Like someone else stated in a comment, I will for the rest of my life tell this story to whoever will listen to convince them to not buy a Ford product. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SALES!
Do I have any chance of recovering any money for the 2003 F250 Turbo diesel I purchased in 2003? I’m just finding out that all this litigation is going on. I put in over $20,000 in repairs (yes, all the same things…EGR cooler, EGR valve, turbo etc etc) over the years and now its finally dead in my driveway. Having it towed to the scrap yard tomorrow. 176,000 miles on it and people are telling me I’m lucky to have gotten that. Found out about all the law suits from the Chevy dealer after I purchased a 2500HD 6.6 Duramax with an Allison tranie. (he asked me if I had a trade in to offer and all I could do was cry). I will be dedicating the rest of my life to talk people out of buying a Ford. Shame, after I owned Fords for 40 years of my life. Anyway is there any chance of getting anything out of this. I think it’s too late. Please advise.
Turbo, EGR cooler, Oil cooler, water pump, heater core, IPR valve. And I know I have a bad injector which so far Rev-X has kept working. Totally out of luck on the lawsuit since I have an ’04. I’ve driven Fords for almost 25 years. DONE!
Oh yeah, the FICM too. Probably the worst engine ever produced.
Received a check for $825 on 3/8/14!!! (Came in big white envelope)
Who does the check come from?
What a joke this POS truck is !! I have a 2006 F250 that wasn’t a daily driver. In April of last year, 2013, I had to have all new injectors installed along with the EGR….to the tune of $ 4,500 !! and in only had 58,000 miles on it !!
I wasn’t informed about the claims and now I am stuck. I begged Ford to help me with part of this last year and they said there wasn’t a program in place to help me. They are a bunch of crooks and thieves.
And what really makes you sick is to see one of their commercials on television claiming to have the hardest working truck out there. Me or my family will never ever buy any other Ford product unless they make this right and I am not holding my breath.
Ford dealerships are sob’s. They are well aware of problems and send the customer under warranty away with cheap fixes. Once my 6.0 developed a heavy whistle, caused by a leaky head gasket they put a heavy duty radiator cap on it to fix the excessive pressure whistling. Half a year later, and now out of warranty, they diagnosed the head gasket and wanted to charge $ 7300 to fix it. My advice, shop around for cheaper diesel repairs and never buy a ford again. Haven’t heard of any lawsuits in Canada

I made a $50,000 investment in a 06 F350 to pull an equipment trailer for farm use. Up to this point the truck ran ok. Since it is not a daily driver, I only have 72,000 miles on it. I figured the truck should last me 20 years. In the last two months I have replaced the FICM $1,3000 and cleaned the turbo $400. Now the oil cooler is out. The ford dealer said it is only $3,377. This is the worst investment I ever made. Like most of you, I trusted in Ford to make a quality product.
Any update from anyone on if they have gotten a check? I submitted in Dec 2013 via certified mail.
Filled on Sept. 26, 2013 ,Still no answer from Top Class if they received my claim or not. it looks like the case is closed, there is no way to contact by phone what up with that? Has anyone been paid received a phone call a letter ,something from Top Class ????
