Drivers in these states are eligible to receive compensation for the repairs caused by the defective fuel pump, as their diesel fuel was incompatible with the CP4 pump design.
The lack of compatibility caused the pump to fail, leaving drivers with hefty repair bills. GM faced accusations of knowingly selling vehicles with this defect without providing any warning to consumers about the potential risks, those were trucks and vans fitted with the 6.6-liter Duramax engine models LML or LGH.
These engines came equipped with a CP4 fuel pump, which was defective in its design and led to severe engine damage when it ran dry.
The agreement allows owners of vehicles with the faulty fuel pump to file for one-time payments of up to $12,700, depending on the amount they spent on repairs.
If you are a Chevy or GM diesel owner who had to pay for repairs due to a CP4 fuel pump failure, you may be entitled to significant compensation. With payouts reaching up to $12,700, this settlement offers relief for the financial burden many drivers faced due to a defect that was out of their control.
By settling this case, General Motors avoids a prolonged legal battle, but the company still faces criticism for its handling of the defective fuel pump issue. Vehicle owners hope that this settlement is just the beginning of a shift in the way manufacturers approach vehicle safety and product quality control.
