Over the years Ford has tried hard to rid themselves of the nickname Found On Road Dead. They have done a decent job of cleaning up their image and designing better looking trucks. Unfortunately Ford has been hit with a class action lawsuit revolving around model year 2003-2007 Ford vehicles equipped with a 6.0-liter PowerStroke diesel engines. If you or someone you know went in for a repair, replacement, or adjustment during Ford’s 5-year/100,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty in relation to the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (“EGR”) Cooler, Oil Cooler, Fuel Injector(s), EGR Valve or the Turbocharger you should file a claim in this case ASAP. If approved you may receive a partial reimbursement for the parts or repairs made to your Ford truck. ALL clams forms must be postmarked no later than 12/31/13 in order to receive a settlement payment. You can obtain a claim form online or you can request one by writing to: CLAIM FORM REQUEST IN RE NAVISTAR DIESEL ENGINE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT CLAIMS ADMINISTRATION CENTER P.O. Box 2810 Southgate, MI 48195-4809. Be sure to include the following information in your written request:

Please note that you will be required to submit proof that the repair or replacement for which you are seeking reimbursement actually took place. If you cannot prove the auto was actually repaired you will not qualify for any type of settlement reimbursement. Examples of proof of repair can come in the form of a credit card receipt or a cancelled check. Ford might not stand for Found On Road Dead but this lawsuit is not going to help their net worth or reputation.
