Chevy & GMC Truck Owners Could Claim Part Of A Major Settlement

The part known as the 'CP4' pump was allegedly "unreasonably fragile and prone to catastrophic failure."

Owners of certain Chevrolet and GMC trucks could possibly receive money from a major settlement.

Plaintiffs of a class action lawsuit claim that General Motors hid issues with a defective high-pressure fuel injection pump.

The part known as the ‘CP4’ pump was allegedly “unreasonably fragile and prone to catastrophic failure.”

The lawsuit claims when parts of the pump rubbed against each other, metal shavings would flake off, contaminating the fuel injection system and occasionally shutting down the engine.

GM denied the parts were defective, but agreed to pay a $35 million settlement.

To be included, you had to have purchased a 2011-2016 Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra Diesel truck with certain engines and the ‘CP4’ pump.

The purchase had to have occurred between March 1 of 2012 and September 13 of this year.
