GM Engine Litigation Settlement

General Motors sold 2011-2014 Chevrolet and GMC pickup trucks and SUVs with LC9 5.3-liter V8 engines that allegedly contain a defective piston assembly. The defect causes excessive engine wear, oil consumption, spark plug fouling, rough idling, check engine lights, and potential engine damage. GM denies any wrongdoing or that the vehicles are defective.

Settlement fund: $150M

Represents: General Motors LLC

“Recovery” and “exposure” refer to total disclosed settlement funds in associated cases, not money personally won or lost by an attorney. Settlements generally resolve disputed allegations without a finding that either side won. Data comes from public court dockets and may be incomplete.
