Dodge Ram 1500 EcoDiesel owners may be eligible for up to $3,575 from a class action settlement regarding a defective exhaust gas recirculation cooler.Summary
Dodge drivers who owned or leased a 2014-2019 Dodge Ram 1500 EcoDiesel truck manufactured between June 12, 2013, and October 23, 2019, may be eligible for a payout from a class action settlement with FCA US (part of Stellantis). The lawsuit alleges that these trucks were fitted with defective exhaust gas recirculation coolers that could cause engine fires. While FCA US has not admitted wrongdoing, they have agreed to an undisclosed settlement amount.
Eligible drivers can receive a warranty extension covering repairs for the defective cooler for five years after replacement, reimbursement for past repair costs within five years of a recall, and repayment for related expenses like towing, rental cars (up to $500 per truck), and coolant (up to $75 per truck), totaling up to $750,000. Drivers who experienced an engine fire due to the cooler failure can claim $3,000, provided they can prove ownership and the fire’s cause.
To receive a payment, class members must submit a claim form by May 16, 2024. Potential payouts range from repair cost reimbursement to $3,575 depending on the damages incurred.
