Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, together with co-lead
counsel DiCello Levitt Gutzler and Audet & Partners LLP and
liaison counsel The Bellows Law Group announce that the parties in
the In re Navistar MaxxForce Engines Marketing, Sales Practices and
Products Liabilities Litigation reached an agreement to settle the
nationwide federal class action lawsuit relating to certain
MaxxForce 11- or 13-liter diesel engines equipped with an allegedly
defective EGR emissions system. Plaintiffs filed the proposed
settlement, under which Navistar International and Navistar, Inc.
(NYSE: NAV) must pay out $135 million, with Judge Joan B.
Gottschall of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois for her consideration and approval.
Lieff Cabraser partner Jonathan Selbin, co-lead counsel for the
plaintiffs in the action, commented, “After years of hard fought
litigation we believe this settlement represents an outstanding
result for class members. In particular, we are proud of the
choices it provides class members, who can choose a ‘no questions
asked’ cash payment of up to $2500 per truck or $10,000 rebate off
the best negotiated price of purchase of a new truck, or can prove
up and recover out of pocket damages related to this defect of up
to $15,000 per truck.” He added: “We are also pleased Navistar
stepped up to take care of its customers.”
Subject to certain exclusions, the proposed class will include
all entities and natural persons who owned or leased a 2011-2014
model year vehicles equipped with a MaxxForce 11- or 13-liter
engine certified to meet EPA 2010 emissions standards without
selective catalytic reduction technology, provided that vehicle was
purchased or leased in any of the fifty (50) States, the District
of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and all other United States territories
and/or possessions.
The proposed settlement must be approved by the Court. If the
Court grants final approval, Class members will have six months to
make their elections and file a claim.
