General Motors has agreed to a settlement in a class-action lawsuit, compensating some vehicle owners with more than $12,000. The settlement, totaling $35 million, applies to owners of certain GMC and Chevrolet trucks purchased in specific states.

The settlement arises from issues with defective fuel injector pumps, specifically focusing on vehicles equipped with Bosch CP4 high-pressure diesel fuel pumps bought from GM-authorized dealers in California, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas between March 1, 2010, and Sept. 13, 2024.

The affected vehicle models covered under the settlement are all 2011-2016 Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierras with a 6.6L Duramax diesel engine that have the faulty fuel pumps.

As part of the settlement, owners may receive cash back for various scenarios. Those who paid for CP4 repairs that were not covered under warranty may be eligible to receive between $6,356 and $12,712. If the trucks are no longer in the owners’ possession, they could still receive compensation ranging from $400 to $800. Furthermore, owners may potentially be reimbursed up to $5,000 for future repairs, depending on the number of claimants.
