A $60 million settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging Caterpillar Inc. engines equipped with exhaust emission control systems failed to work reliably.
Plaintiffs in the suit argued the engines with the CAT Regeneration System failed, causing the ACERT C13 and C15 on-highway diesel engines to lose horsepower and shut down, requiring Caterpillar-authorized dealer technicians to repair the engines. The plaintiffs alleged they could not effectively do so.
Caterpillar, which continues to deny the allegations in the lawsuit, has said the settlement is in the “best interest” of all parties and in the public interest.
All class members must file a claim in order to receive a payment.
