Court-Approved Legal Notice

[Cummins12V98]

Doesn't look good for FCA and CUMMINS.

Sorry, read from bottom up.

 

[TRAMPLINEMAN]

Any idea why just those states were chosen?

The only ones smiling here are the lawyers and politicians... These cases benefit no one and are a complete waste of our tax dollars and time to work on real issues!

Likely the states that "allowed" the case to be brought

"Washcoat defect" and "flash defect"? What do those terms refer to.

 

[Cummins12V98]

More red states than blue on the list.

So out of $6 million, the attorneys get $2+ million. Just another hostage law suit where the plaintiffs council get all the rewards.

"Washcoat defect" and "flash defect"? What do those terms refer to.

From Jeremy Raymo, et al., v. FCA US LLC and Cummins Inc.:

According to Plaintiffs, the class vehicles contained two defects, which they call the “washcoat defect” and the “flash defect.” The “washcoat defect” refers to a problem with the sealant (or washcoat) used for the SCR’s interior lining. Plaintiffs claim that the type of washcoat used rendered the SCR ineffective in reducing the trucks’ NOx emissions. The “flash defect” refers to a problem of soot build-up in the DPF that Defendants were allegedly fixing by “flashing” or reprogramming the trucks’ Electronic Control Modules to divert more fuel into the exhaust system in order to burn away the excess soot, thereby allegedly reducing fuel mileage at the expense of consumers.​
