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.

EGR cooler toast and hopefully not the FICM! At shop right now! We’ll see how it goes! My second Ford-first was a ’68 F-100 liked that gas truck.
Had turbo go out and transmission and erg cost 7.000.00 and no letter 2003 6.0 super duty will never buy a ford again 2006 ford explorer broken spark plugs cost 2500.00 to fix so no more fords in my drive way ever again
I bought my F-250 new in Feb 2005. At 4500 miles the injection pressure regulator acted up according to the service report I got back a o ring was put in wrong at the factory but I still had to pay for it. Who would of thought a o ring would cost $800.00. Three hundred miles more and the turbo went out. Now at 65000 miles the wrench light is on again can’t wait for this bill. Tried to do a trade in this weekend could not get a trade in price. Where do I get a claim form? I was never mailed a letter as stated above.
Where do I get a claim form? Just had the EGR changed and other items and my truck is running worse. I feel I just threw 5 grand in the trash!
Where do I get a claim form? I just had major repairs done EGR and then some and now 1 day after it is running worse! Check engine light is on AGAIN and! Loss of power! Beyone Pissed!
FYI: According to the claims website we can expect a response by June 13, 2014 (non-fleet) and July 11, 2014 (fleet). Hopefully that means a check as well!!!!
I owned a 2005 Ford F250 6.0 turbo diesel. I drove it off the lot, and within 2 hrs the turbo hose blew off. From that time on, I spent between 10,000 to 11,000 on repairs that included replacing all the injectors twice, the oil cooler, the oil injector pump, the turbo twice. I owned the truck for almost five years hoping that things would get better. I enjoyed driving the truck, but the repairs were killing me. I used to be a ford person, but I had to switch to GMC. Sad story but true. I am waiting for my piece of the Ford Motor Company.
We sent all our bills showing all the work done on our 6.0 F350 diesel truck along with the claim form, but never saved copies. We did get another copy from the repair shop of all the work done, but didn’t save a copy of the claim form. Is anyone able to send a copy of the claim form with the mailing address we sent everything to for reimbursement? That wasn’t too smart on our part!
I have a 2005 f-250, 4wd turbo diesel! It’s been in the mechanics shop going on two years, because of the egr, the oil cooler, the head gaskets, and a series of other problems, I’ve already spent 7000 dollars in repairs and still can’t finish, by the time I’m done, a new engine will cost 14,000 dollars. I will never buy another Ford anything again! I called the Ford corporate division, and they basically just said, “well good luck on fixing your truck!” No apology, no we’ll see how we can help you, just, oh well,”tough!” I want to file a Lawsuit against them just don’t know any good lawyer!
