Raymo et al. v. FCA US LLC and Cummins Inc.
Cummins 2500 - 3500 Diesel Settlement
Case No. 2:17-cv-12168-TGB-SDD

Welcome to the Cummins 2500 - 3500 Diesel Settlement Website

IF YOU PURCHASED OR LEASED A NEW 2013, 2014, OR 2015 DODGE RAM 2500 OR 3500 TRUCK WITH CUMMINS DIESEL BETWEEN NOVEMBER 26, 2014 TO JULY 13, 2016 IN THE FOLLOWING STATES: ALABAMA, COLORADO, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, IDAHO, KENTUCKY, MICHIGAN, MISSISSIPPI, NEW JERSEY, NORTH CAROLINA, OHIO, OKLAHOMA, PENNSYLVANIA, UTAH, VIRGINIA, AND WASHINGTON, YOU COULD BE AFFECTED BY A PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The Fairness Hearing was rescheduled to November 19, 2024 at 2 p.m.

 

What is the Settlement about?

The lawsuit claims that defendants Cummins and FCA US defrauded consumers by developing, advertising, and selling Model Year 2013 – 2017 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with a Cummins 6.7-liter diesel engine (the “Trucks”) with a Selective Catalytic Reduction System that did not perform as advertised and failed to disclose two material defects in the Trucks, namely a “washcoat defect” and “flash defect.” The Defendants deny the claims, and the Court has not made any decision on the merits of the claims because the parties have agreed to settle the claims. On June 7, 2024, the Court granted preliminary approval of the Settlement.

 

What does the Settlement provide?

In accordance with the terms of the Settlement, Defendants have agreed to pay $6,000,000 (the “Settlement Fund”). Each Class Member shall be entitled to one pro rata share of the Net Settlement Fund for each Eligible Truck, identified by VIN, the Class Member purchased or leased during the Class Period. There is no date certain for making payments from the Settlement Fund. If you are a Class Member and do not request exclusion from the Class, you may be eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement Fund.

Each Class Member shall be entitled to one pro rata share of the Net Settlement Fund for each Eligible Truck, identified by VIN, the Class Member purchased or leased during the Class Period. Thus, a Class Member who purchased one Eligible Truck during the Class Period will be entitled to one pro rata share of the Net Settlement Fund, while a Class Member who purchased two Eligible Trucks during the Class Period will be entitled to two pro rata shares of the Net Settlement Fund. Class Members have been identified using FCA US’s purchase and ownership records. Payments to Class Members as a result of the Settlement are estimated to be approximately $100.40 per Eligible Truck, in the form of a check.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THE SETTLEMENT

YOUR RIGHTS AND OPTIONS

CLASS MEMBERS WHO DO NOTHING

If you wish to make a claim for part of the Settlement Fund, you do not need to take any action. If you are a Class Member and do not request exclusion from the Class, you may be eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement Fund.

Each Class Member shall be entitled to one pro rata share of the Net Settlement Fund for each Eligible Truck, identified by VIN, the Class Member purchased or leased during the Class Period. Thus, a Class Member who purchased one Eligible Truck during the Class Period will be entitled to one pro rata share of the Net Settlement Fund, while a Class Member who purchased two Eligible Trucks during the Class Period will be entitled to two pro rata shares of the Net Settlement Fund. Payments are estimated to be $100.40 per Eligible Truck.

ASK TO BE EXCLUDED BY SUBMITTING A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR EXCLUSION SO THAT IT IS POSTMARKED NO LATER THAN AUGUST 21, 2024

If you ask to be excluded from the Class and the Court approves the Settlement, you will not receive any money from the Settlement.  This is the only option that allows you to be part of any other lawsuit against Defendants relating to its engines in Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 trucks.

OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT BY SUBMITTING A WRITTEN OBJECTION SO THAT IT IS RECEIVED NO LATER THAN AUGUST 21, 2024

If you do not like the Settlement, or any part of it, you may write to the Court and explain why you do not like the Settlement.  You can only object to the Settlement if you are a Class Member and you do not exclude yourself.

GO TO THE COURT’S FINAL FAIRNESS HEARING, RESCHEDULED TO NOVEMBER 19, 2024 AT 2:00 P.M.

If you submit a written objection, you may (but you do not have to) attend the hearing and, at the discretion of the Court, speak to the Court about your objection.
