FCA US Emissions Warranty Class Action Settlement

FCA US, which operates under brands including Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler, has agreed to a class action settlement to address allegations that it failed to provide proper warranty coverage for certain valve train system components within a range of vehicles. The affected vehicles include models purchased or leased between 2015 and 2020 in specific states, and cover various models such as the Ram 1500, Jeep Wrangler, and Dodge Challenger, among others.

The core of the allegations is that consumers were forced to pay for repairs that should have been covered by warranty due to the alleged failure of FCA US to provide appropriate coverage for the valve train components. The settlement does not include an admission of wrongdoing by FCA US.

Under the settlement terms, class members are entitled to a warranty extension covering parts and labor for replacing a failed valve rocker arm, valve stem oil seal, or valve tappet component for seven years from the vehicle's in-service date or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first. Furthermore, those who paid for the diagnosis or repair of these components may qualify for reimbursement by submitting a claim form with proof of payment. The deadline to submit a claim form is October 12, 2026.
