Concerning Defective High-Pressure Fuel Injection Pump
Owners and former owners of specific Chevrolet and GMC trucks can claim cash from a $35 million settlement related to allegations that General Motors concealed issues with a defective high-pressure fuel injection pump
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for the settlement, you must meet the following criteria:
• Purchased a 2011-2016 Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra diesel truck equipped with a 6.6L Duramax engine and a Bosch “CP4” high-pressure diesel fuel pump.
• Bought the vehicle from a GM-authorized dealer in California, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, New York, Pennsylvania, or Texas.
• Purchased between March 1, 2010, and September 13, 2024.
Former Owners
If you previously owned one of the affected trucks but no longer possess it and did not pay for a high-pressure diesel fuel pump repair, you are still eligible for a cash payout. However, this amount will be smaller, ranging from $400 to $800, depending on the number of other claims filed.
Identifying Affected Trucks
You can check if your truck is included in the settlement using its
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
Allegations in the Lawsuit
The plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit claim that the CP4 pump was “unreasonably fragile and prone to catastrophic failure.” According to the lawsuit, metal shavings could flake off when parts of the pump rubbed against each other, contaminating the fuel injection system and, in some cases, causing the engine to shut down.
Filing a Claim
Claims can be filed online or by mail. You have ample time to gather your documentation and file your claim, as the window to file will remain open for at least six months after the settlement receives final approval. This final approval is not expected to occur before
January 21, 2025, meaning you should have until July 2025 to file your claim.
