You are considered a Settlement Class Member, if you purchased or leased in the United States a Model Year 2014-2019 Dodge Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Truck manufactured between June 12, 2013 and October 23, 2019 (“Eligible Truck”).

The lawsuit alleges that Model Year 2014-2019 Dodge Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Trucks or 1500 Classic Trucks purchased or leased in the United States contained defective Exhaust Gas Recirculation (“EGR”) coolers that were susceptible to thermal fatigue, leading the coolers to crack over time and leak coolant, which can cause combustion within the intake manifold and lead to a vehicle fire. FCA US has not been found liable for any claims alleged in the lawsuit. The Parties have reached a voluntary settlement to avoid lengthy litigation. People who owned or leased the Eligible Trucks, referred to as “Class Members,” might be entitled to compensation if valid and timely claims are submitted.
