What happened
A proposed class action was filed against FCA US LLC, apparently concerning fraud or truth-in-lending violations. The docket does not provide further detail about the alleged conduct, but the case may affect consumers who purchased or leased vehicles from the company. The allegations have not been proven and this is not a settlement.
