Trucking Companies Sue Navistar for Selling Defective Engines
Three trucking companies that purchased vehicles in California, Illinois, and Washington state filed a nationwide class action lawsuit against Navistar International, alleging that Navistar actively concealed that its 2008-2013 model trucks were equipped with diesel engines — the Maxxforce Advanced EGR diesel engines — that contained a defective emission system that caused the trucks to suddenly break down.
According Jonathan D. Selbin of the national plaintiffs’ law firm Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, “The problems with these engines have cost buyers and lessees — including many small, family-owned businesses — thousands of dollars.”
“In some cases,” he continued, “the unexpected mechanical problems endangered owners’ ability to earn a living. The lawsuit seeks to hold Navistar responsible for the quality of its engines and ensure that buyers and lessees of Navistar trucks get what they paid for.”
