The Navistar class action claimed that the company knowingly sold MaxxForce 11- or 13 liter diesel engines with defective EGR emissions systems. The defect allegedly causes the engines to heat up more than comparable engines which reportedly leads to more frequent break downs.
.
The plaintiffs argued that, if they had known about the defect, they would not have purchased the affected vehicles or would have paid significantly less. As a result, the plaintiffs and Class Members allegedly sustained financial injury.
.
A $135 million settlement was reached over the summer to resolve the claims against Navistar, although the defendants did not admit any wrongdoing.
.
Under the settlement, consumers have three options for compensation. They can collect up to $2,500 in cash, up to $10,000 in rebates towards the purchase of a new vehicle, or up to $15,000 in proven cost reimbursement. More information is available in the “Potential Award” section below.

In order to benefit from the settlement, Class Members need to file a valid claim by May 11, 2020. The deadline for exclusion and objection was Oct. 10, 2019. The settlement was granted final approval on Jan. 3, 2020.
