The FCA class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on December 2, 2025 and covers all individuals who, as confirmed by FCA US’s records, purchased a model-year 2015-2017 Chrysler 200 vehicle that was originally sold as a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, or Washington. The vehicles at issue are referred to as the “Class Vehicles” in all settlement documents.
The court-approved website for the FCA class action settlement can be found at MultiAirActuatorFuelInjecttorSettlement.com.
Per the settlement website, FCA settlement class members do not have to do anything to receive an extension of FCA’s existing warranty obligations and repair of a failed MultiAir Actuator or Fuel Injector component in each class vehicle.
The settlement will automatically cover the cost of parts and labor needed to for repairs as long as it is performed at an authorized FCA US dealership within fifteen years past the last date of the initial vehicle purchase or lease or 150,000 miles, whichever is earlier.
Additionally, FCA US class members who submit a timely, valid claim form are eligible to receive reimbursement for prior repairs of a failed MultiAir Actuator or a fuel injector in their class vehicle.
The agreement states that claims for reimbursement must be accompanied by proof of a previously paid repair, such as an invoice, receipt, or credit card statement. Class members must also submit documentation identifying the vehicle and its VIN, the owner, the component repaired or replaced, and the name and contact information of the business that completed the repairs.
Court documents add that class members will receive their payout via physical check mailed to the address listed on their claim form, which must be cashed within 90 days of issuance.
To submit an FCA settlement claim form online, class members can visit this page and enter the class member ID found on their received copy of the settlement notice. Alternatively, class members can download a PDF claim form to print, complete and return by mail to the settlement administrator listed on the first page of the document.
All FCA US settlement claim forms must be submitted online or postmarked no later than March 30, 2026.
Settlement documents add that the settlement administrator will decide each class member’s settlement payment and, within 60 days of claim form submission, will send a written notice informing them of the amount, if any, that FCA US will reimburse, as well as their right to correct any unapproved claim.
The court will determine whether to grant final approval to the FCA US settlement at a hearing on June 4, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval has been granted and any appeals have been resolved.
The Fiat Chrysler Automobiles class action lawsuit alleged that the car manufacturer did not provide appropriate warranty coverage for MultiAir actuators and fuel injector components in 2015-2017 Chrysler 200 PZEV vehicles that should be covered for 15-years or 150,000 miles as “emissions-related parts” under the California Emissions Warranty.
