Ford Diesel Engine Class Action Settlement
By Mike Holter
UPDATE 9/25/13: All appeals have been resolved and the settlement is now final and effective. See how to file a claim for the Ford Diesel Engine Class Action Lawsuit Settlement.
UPDATE 8/19/13: The Court approved the Ford diesel engine class action settlement on July 2, but two appeals have been filed. The settlement cannot become effective until these appeals are resolved. Class Members are advised to check the status of these appeals on September 20, 2013. Sign up for our free weekly e-newsletter below to receive settlement updates.
UPDATE 6/6/13: The Court did not make a decision to approve the Ford Diesel Engine Class Action Lawsuit Settlement at the May 22, 2013 Fairness Hearing. A decision is expected in mid-July.
Class Notices have been mailed to U.S. consumers who purchased or leased a model year 2003-2007 Ford vehicle equipped with a 6.0-liter PowerStroke diesel engine notifying them of a proposed class action lawsuit settlement. The settlement will resolve allegations the engines are defective and plagued with problems.
If approved, the Ford diesel settlement will resolve dozens of class action lawsuits, consolidated as In re: Navistar 6.0L Diesel Engine Products Liability Litigation, that claim the PowerStroke diesel engines installed primarily in heavy-duty Ford trucks and vans contains defects that result in poor performance and expensive repair bills.
A federal judge has conditionally certified a class of all U.S. citizens who currently own or lease (or who in the past owned or leased) a 2003-2007 non-ambulance Ford vehicle sold or leased in the U.S. and equipped with a 6.0-liter PowerStroke diesel engine that received one or more of the following repairs covered by Ford’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty during the vehicle’s last five years in service or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first:
- Fuel injector
- Exhaust gas recirculation valve (“EGR”)
- EGR cooler
- Oil cooler
- Turbocharger
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.
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.
Claim Forms will not be available until after the settlement is approved and becomes effective.

who do you contact to file a claim?
When should I expect to get my money.
put my truck into the shop for transmission trouble. Got it rebuilt, but then the problems start–sounds like everyone else. I have gotten real cross wise with my mechanic of 15 years thinking he suddenly doesn’t know how to fix a truck and have it stay fixed. Come to find out a lot of mechanics had to sue ford over the same type issues. This is criminal. Spent over $4500 and still can’t get it out of the shop. I want to go trade it in, but the value of the truck has fallen through the floor. Worst decision I made in a long long time was buying this beautiful truck.Now I find out that I can’t even submit something on the settlement since it’s past Dec. 31st. Any suggestions??????
I HAVE A POWER STROKE 6.0 I SPENT OVER $ 5,000.00 DOLLAR IN 0NE YEAR
I too am a victim of a powerstroke 6.0 , egr delete & head bolts 2,500 $ bill . How can I get reimbursed ?
My 2008 F450 blew a rod through the block and through the oil pan. 78000 miles and barely out of warranty. Needs new motor. Ford won’t pay the $18000 bill for a new 6.4 motor. I have babied this truck and taken very good care of it. Wondering if I have any recourse against Ford?
